A father has been cleared of murdering his baby daughter by setting fire to the family home in Shetland after a row with his wife.
A jury at the High Court in Aberdeen took three hours to decide that the case against William Middleton was not proven.
His nine-month-old daughter Annalise died in the fire in September last year in the village of Brae.
Charges that he tried to murder two other children were also not proven.
The court heard evidence that fires were lit at two locations in the property.
The trial heard how Mr Middleton and his wife Kareen had been drinking with a 14-year-old niece and two her friends on the night of the fire.
The jury was told a row had broken out after Mrs Middleton overhead her husband telling one of the girls: "I wish I'd met you before I met my wife."
She stormed out, and Mr Middleton said he later went to bed.
He claimed he was woken by an alarm and emerged from his bedroom to find the house full of smoke.
He led two older children to safety, but said the smoke was too thick for him to reach the baby's room.
Firefighters arrived to find a fire burning in the hall and smoke billowing from the windows.
Using breathing apparatus they carried Annalise from the building but were too late to save her life.
Mr Middleton, who was found in a downstairs room, was seriously ill when he was taken to hospital.
A fire investigator told the trial it was "almost certain" fires had been started deliberately in the hall and a downstairs bedroom.
Local councillor Alastair Cooper the baby's death had devastated the community.
"We couldn't believe that such a thing could happen to a young baby. We are trying to get the community back together, to heal the pain," he said.
"Hopefully the community will get back together and learn to deal with it. We'll never forget, but we'll learn to deal it."
