Former politician Natalie McGarry has lodged an appeal after being jailed for embezzling £25,000 from the SNP and a pro-independence group.
The 41-year-old was sentenced to two years at Glasgow Sheriff Court in June. McGarry was found guilty of taking £19,974 while treasurer of Women for Independence.
She also embezzled a further £4,661 while treasurer, secretary, and convener of the Glasgow Regional Association of the SNP.

McGarry - who denied the accusations - had been the MP for Glasgow East between 2015 and 2017.
Sheriff Tom Hughes told her at the hearing in June: "Through your role in these offences, you have not only betrayed the trust placed in you by others. Your standards have fallen well short of those the public should have a right to expect from MPs."
The Appeal Court in Edinburgh confirmed papers have now been lodged against both the conviction and jail-term.
The details of the grounds of the appeal are not known. No date has been fixed for any possible court hearing.
