A soldier drafted in to help out during the ambulance crisis liked the job so much he is training to become a full-time ambulance technician.
Private Paul Gordon joined the Army as a 16-year-old and saw active service in Afghanistan but even after he left the military, he stayed with his regiment 7SCOTS in Perth.
But he has now decided on a change of career after volunteering to help Scottish Ambulance Service crews as part of the government plan to reduce waiting times.
