Disabled Lanarkshire law student's 'years of hell' at Glasgow University

A disabled student from Strathaven who is bidding to sue his own law school has opened up on the "five years of hell" during his time at the University of Glasgow.

Visually impaired Gary Copland - who is also autistic - fell two years behind in his law degree after what his family described as a string of failures, leaving him depressed and "ridden" with anxiety.

Without adequate IT and unable to access texts through a digital processor allowing him to read, Gary "lay in bed all day staring at the ceiling" and was unable to graduate in 2019 alongside his fellow students.
