Tributes have been made to a leading lawyer and civil rights activist has been found dead at his home.
Former colleagues and friends spoke fondly of their memories of Derek Ogg QC.
The advocate was found dead at his Glasgow flat. He was 65.
Ogg, who was involved in a number of high-profile cases as both a prosecutor and defence counsel , was discovered by police officers on Friday night.
The Faculty of Advocates paid tribute to their colleague.
Gordon Jackson QC, dean of faculty, said: “All of us who knew Derek Ogg are deeply saddened by his passing.
“ He was a marvelous advocate but, more than that, he was a fierce campaigner for his beliefs both on a personal and professional level.
“He will be greatly missed.” Police Scotland said officers attended his home in the Langside area in the south side of the city.
