Stephen Gough, 53, left HMP Saughton in Edinburgh completely naked with his rucksack on his back and his belongings in carrier bags.

The rambler has spent most of the last six years imprisoned in solitary confinement for being nude in public places, but declared he would continue to stroll naked whenever he wants.
