Scotland's high-security state hospital has been officially reopened after a rebuild.
The unit in Carstairs, South Lanarkshire, has been upgraded with the aim of providing better care and treatment as part of a national mental health policy.
The hospital cares for men from Scotland and Northern Ireland who cannot be treated in other settings because of their dangerous, violent or criminal behaviour.
