A prisoner who escaped from HMP Addiewell prison in Livingston is still thought to be in Glasgow - a week after evading the authorities.

Steven Ross, 33, escaped while on escort from the prison to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at around 5.20pm on Wednesday, March 11.

Recent enquiries have confirmed to Police Scotland that Ross travelled to, and may still be in, the Greater Glasgow area - however he does have links to other areas of Scotland.
