A young Scots mum is to take on the lengthy and difficult legal process of adopting her 13-year-old brother after the tragic death of their mother.
Karly Scott, from Gilmerton, Edinburgh, had her world tipped upside down after her mum, Leila Scott, suddenly died at just 44.
She had been suffering from an underlying health condition and has sadly left behind Karly, her two grandchildren and younger son Lennox.
While grieving the loss of her beloved mum, Karly, 24, is juggling funeral arrangements, moving home and is trying to obtain legal guardianship of her teenage brother.
The bereaved family are devastated over the loss of their mum who they describe as "their rock" and the "kindest, most beautiful person."
Karly and Lennox were extremely close with Leila, who brought them up single handedly.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live Karly said: "We have always been so close, I was 12 when Lennox was born. It's always been us three.
"She always made sure we had more than we needed and she was the only person I could really rely on.
"Since I got in a relationship and had kids, I moved out so it was just Lennox and my mum. I just live around the corner though and have two young kids myself.
"I have a son and daughter, Cody who is three and Freya who is one, mum helped me with them so much and was always there - I never had to ask.
"They loved her to bits, it's really hard with the kids even though Freya is just one whenever she sees a picture of my mum she asks 'where's Nana?' and doesn't understand why we can't go and visit anymore."
Karly is currently going through the legal process to become her little brothers legal guardian but will have to move house as her two bedroom flat is not big enough for the whole family.
