A son has spoken of his relief after thieves returned his mum's stolen ashes. Isobel Calderwood's family when heartbroken when the crooks took the urn, possibly mistaking it for a bottle of whisky.
But hours after an appeal in the Daily Record the family were amazed to see the blue urn, along with other items, placed outside their home. But while grateful for their return, son Gari labelled the theft as "disgusting", the newspaper reports.
The newspaper had told how the mum's remains were stolen from her son Stephen Burgess' flat in Paisley during a break-in between January 30 and February 1. He had been evacuated from his home following a fire in a neighbouring property and had temporarily moved in with a friend.
