A pensioner who was visiting a sick relative was appalled when his path into Glasgow Royal Infirmary was blocked by poorly parked cars.
Stuart Ferguson, who uses a walking stick due to health problems, was forced to ditch the footpath on Castle Street and walk around the cars on the roadway because there was no way for him to get through the tight gap.
The 76-year-old, from Glasgow, says he noticed some cars had even been slapped with parking tickets.

He told Glasgow Live: "There was hardly any room to walk there because there were parked cars. The car parked on the pedestrian path had been ticketed.
"I was very frustrated by those cars parked on the footpath. I have knee problems and use a walking stick.
"I have problems navigating the bad conditions of the pavements, never mind the badly parked cars. I ended up having to walk on the roadway."
A spokesman for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said: "We would encourage anyone visiting or working on site to ensure they park safely and appropriately.
"Our car parking areas are monitored by parking officers who can issue unauthorised parking notices to anyone improperly parked."
