A former soldier has been reunited with his estranged family after battling a heroin and cocaine addiction for 20 years.
Matthew Murie, from Clydebank, became a lorry driver when he left the Army. But after falling into a trap with alcoholism and drugs, the 44-year-old lost his licence and his life spiralled out of control.
Due to the severity of his addictions, Matthew had no contact with his sister, Pamela Gilfillan, 47, and his young niece Paige Gilfillan, 16, for five years. His relationship with his mum, Nancy, 68, also broke down.
