Patrick MacNamara set fire to a piece of fabric and put it through the letterbox of an unoccupied flat before the blaze took hold and destroyed the roof.
An arsonist put the lives of residents in a Scots flat block in danger after starting an early morning blaze.
Three flats in the block were damaged by the blaze and smoke spread throughout the building during the fierce blaze. The court heard that because of the scale of the blaze 11 fire appliances were called out to attend the intense fire. The court heard that MacNamara's brother resided in the block of flats targeted in the fire but he had gone on a visit to Wales.Advocate depute Paul Mullen said MacNamara had previous convictions mostly related to road traffic offences and crimes of dishonesty.
