The brother of a Scots-born British Red Cross aid worker who was abducted and killed in Pakistan has spoken of his pride in his sibling's attempts to improve people's lives.
Khalil Dale MBE, 60, who was originally from Dumfries, was posthumously awarded the Robert Burns Humanitarian Award 2013 at an awards ceremony at the bard's birthplace museum in Alloway, South Ayrshire.
Ian Dale said: "Khalil had a deep affinity with Scotland and, to him, Scotland was always his home so he would have been delighted to be named winner of the Robert Burns Humanitarian Award."
