The families of Scots troops killed in Iraq are meeting members of the the inquiry into the conflict.

They are taking part in discussions in Edinburgh, designed to scrutinise the way in which the war has been handled.

Inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot wants to use a series of meetings to identify what those most affected by the war think its priorities should be.

However, angry families used the first talks in London to argue that Tony Blair should be held to account for making the decision to take the country to war while serving as Prime Minister.

The Iraq Inquiry is examining the period from 2001 until 2009. It aims to identify how major decisions have been made and see if there are lessons which can be learned from the conflict.

Thousands of documents are being examined by experts ahead of a series of public evidence hearings on the issue.

Since the probe was launched in July, letters have been sent to all of the British families who lost loved ones in the conflict. Around 50 replied to say they would like to take part in the meetings.
