A woman who splurged £50,000 that was meant to pay for her ill father's care home fees has been blasted by a sheriff.
Alison Carson, 53, took thousands from accounts belonging to dementia stricken Hugh McMath, 88, before resorting to buying lottery scratchcards in a desperate attempt to replace the cash.
She had been appointed as his guardian when his health began to deteriorate. The pensioner was being cared for at his home in Airdrie, Lanarkshire, before being moved to a nearby care facility.
