Quick’s lawyer, advocate Sheena Fraser, described her client as a “frail” man who was in poor health and no longer in a “position of power” around children.
Ms Fraser said: “Mr Quick acknowledges his guilt, and that his behaviour was wrong and has had a serious impact on his victims.
“He has asked me to apologise on his behalf and he wishes to make amends as soon as possible.”
She said Quick had been in and out of a local hospital with a series of injuries and illnesses.
She asked Mr Mackie to take into account that Quick’s personal circumstances had changed dramatically since the crimes took place.
She said: “He is now retired and no longer has any contact with children.”
