Commenting on Tayside Police's confirmation that the missing offender from Castle Huntly open prison known as "the hawk" has been traced, Liberal Democrat Justice spokesperson Robert Brown said:

"People in the local area will be breathing a big sigh of relief at this news. They'll be joined by the Justice Secretary as the spotlight has been firmly focused on his mistakes for the past two weeks.

"He's continuing wilfully to ignore the clear view of Parliament over Glasgow Community Court and now there is this Castle Huntly escape fiasco.

"Kenny MacAskill needs to up his game. A good start would be reviewing this inmate's suitability for Castle Huntly."
