AN ex-cop who is Scottish Labour's first transgender election candidate told last night how she was hounded out of the police.

Carol Mapley, 53, revealed how her time in the British Transport Police became a "living hell" after colleagues discovered her desire to become a woman.

Carol, who has a female partner and lives near Newton Stewart, Dumfriesshire, will fight the Castle Douglas and Glenken council seat next May.
