The prosecutor told the 10th day of proceedings that Mr Imrie, from Glenrothes, had become "steeped" in right-wing ideology.
She said the accused had glorified Breivik as "the saviour of Europe" and said: "I love him so much". Ms Gillespie said he had told a fascist group in July 2019 that he was going to carry out a terrorist attack on an Islamic centre.She said that a video filmed inside his car with bagpipe music was deliberately constructed to evoke memories of footage shot by Tarrant as he drove to murder worshippers at a mosque in Christchurch.Defence solicitor advocate Jim Keegan QC said Mr Imrie visited the Islamic Centre in Glenrothes on 4 July 2019 in broad daylight but did not do anything.
Instead, his client went to the dilapidated Strathmore Lodge, in Thornton, Fife, and set fire to a doorway. He filmed it and claimed to the group it was a mosque or Islamic centre."The sum total of this would-be terrorist plot, this preparation to commit an act of terrorism, was the vandalism of an abandoned building - a crime nonetheless - and the vandalism of a bush beside a gravestone, also a crime.
