Eilidh Thomson has seen plenty of childhood pictures and video footage showing her with her apparently doting father Will.
He's beaming, as is she, throughout a photographic carousel of cuddles, trips to the park and playful interludes at the family home in Edinburgh.
In other words, all the hallmarks of an ordinary, loving father - although today the 21-year-old knows that Will Jordan was anything but.
I was just a pawn in a game,' she says. Every time he read me a story, every time he hugged me or put me to bed he knew exactly what he was doing. He knew he was a predator, and it disgusts me.
