A Scots family from Shetland are raising funds to get their paralysed son to Glasgow after he was accepted onto a revolutionary trial which could change the lives of those who have suffered a spinal injury.
Graham Nicolson, 58, was told by doctors that his son, Scott aged 30, would be eligible for the potential life-changing trial if he made the move from Lerwick to Glasgow.
The clinical trial will involve Scott's hands being strapped to an upside down bicycle machine whilst doctors try to detect electrical pulses from the brain to control his arms, similar to other successful studies carried out in Switzerland
