We regularly hear Government ministers encourage entrepreneurship. One Scottish postman recently took the encouragement a bit too far though and he has now returned to delivering post and not gambling winnings.

Kenneth Halliday took advantage of the lack of bookmakers in his village to make more than £50,000 from local punters.
The 53 year old had worked in the only bookie's shop in Roslin, Midlothian, until 1984 when the miners' strike put it out of business.

But the town's gamblers continued to seek him out in a local pub to place their bets because of his past experience.
Halliday started running an illegal bookies on the side while working for the Royal Mail and he began making a fortune from the town's punters.

He was finally caught out in January last year after a disgruntled customer tipped off police, who caught him taking bets without a permit in the Original Roslin Hotel. Initial investigations revealed he had made more than £30,000 since 2003 and he was charged by police.

At Edinburgh Sheriff Court he was ordered to repay £41,500 - his takings for the past six years - after pleading guilty. He was also fined £4,000 by Sheriff Isabella McColl, who described it as "a very serious offence".
Police caught Halliday on 14 January last year while acting on a tip-off. He was spotted by undercover officers taking notes in a book after being approached by two men at the hotel in Roslin. He was arrested and found to have more than £500 in cash in his possession.

A search of his house turned up nearly £4,000 in cash and more notebooks. Police then trawled through his bank accounts and discovered a series of large deposits, of up to £4,000 at a time, had been made.
Halliday had admitted operating a bookmakers without a permit at Edinburgh Sheriff Court earlier this year, and he was made the subject of a confiscation order.

At his hearing, he admitted benefiting by more than £50,000 over the past six years and was ordered to pay back £41,500.
His lawyer, Jim Stephenson, told the court yesterday how Halliday had worked in the village's bookmakers until 1984.
But business had dried up because of the miners' dispute and it was forced to close through lack of trade.
However, Halliday found himself being approached in the pub by former customers still keen to place a bet, and he began taking their money.

In 2003, he gave up his Hearts season ticket and instead spent his Saturday afternoons in the pub.
Mr Stephenson said: "He was a bit naive - he didn't think he was doing anything illegal."
The court heard that Halliday was a hard-working man who had been a postman for more than 20 years.
He is currently in the process of paying the confiscated £41,500 to the Crown Office.
