'Peru Two' drugs mule Melissa Reid is barely recognisable as she is spotted walking her dog near her home - one day before her accomplice Michaella McCollum's BBC documentary airs.
Michaella, 28, and Melissa were arrested in 2013 for attempting to smuggle £1.5 million worth of cocaine out of Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, Peru.
Both claimed armed gangsters had forced them to carry the cocaine – when in fact they had willingly smuggled the drugs for a £5,000 payment.
Since the pair's release in 2016, Melissa has lead a quiet life - in contrast to her partner-in-crime Michaella whose documentary High: Confessions Of An Ibiza Drug Mule will be released on Sunday.
MailOnline can reveal that Melissa, 27, is single again after splitting from the backpacker boyfriend Gary Stafford who visited her in jail.
She was photographed walking her dog after enjoying a picnic during a heatwave in Scotland this week.

The woman - who asked not to be named - said: 'We know her as Mel but didn't know she had a history like that.
'To be honest, she is totally down-to-earth and is a sweet girl.

'You would never imagine, honestly, but now that you mention it she does seem a bit too quiet.
'I heard she worked for a charity and I see her from time to time out walking the dog, but we don't know her.
'This is a quiet neighbourhood and she's a quiet girl, no noise or anything.
'She doesn't tend to have visitors or at least I don't think so.
