Also included in the rentable catalogue is thousands of 18-rated DVDs like Fifty Shades of Grey, Brokeback Mountain and American Pie, according to The Scottish Sun.

The Scottish Conservatives are urging SNP ministers to order jail chiefs to remove the X-rated flicks.
Shadow justice secretary Liam Kerr MSP said: 'Ordinary Scots will be appalled that inmates are being provided with X-rated movies by prisons.
'England and Wales banned 18-rated movies and TV shows from their prisons 12 years ago and it is about time that the Scottish Prison Service followed suit.
'Many of the prisoners at Barlinnie will be behind bars for violent crimes, so it is common sense they should not be able to access graphically violent material about serial killers and torturers.
'Prisoners trying to get clean will also not be helped by having access to content that promotes drug use.
'SNP Ministers must intervene and immediately direct the SPS to remove violent or sexual films from our prisons.'
(Image: Image of Liam Kerr MSP, PA) A spokesman for the Prison Officers' Association said: 'Given all the factors such as overcrowding, drug use, bullying and organised crime gang activities inside our prisons, the last thing we need is anything else adding to the tension or temperatures.
'It is something that the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) should be reviewing as a priority with a view to limiting the availability of these films.'

A Scottish Prison Service spokesperson added: 'Access to watching DVDs is a privilege not a right, and is available at the discretion of the Governor."

Ex-SNP chief Peter Murrell granted legal aid for embezzlement charge
Lawyers' bills accumulated by the former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell will be paid for by the taxpayer after he was granted legal aid. Murrell, who is Nicola Sturgeon's husband, faces a charge of embezzlement related to funds of the party he ran for more than 20 years. Murrell, 60, who was chief executive of the SNP between 2001 and 2023 and at points took home a six-figure salary, has had an application for solemn legal aid approved by the Scottish Legal Aid Board. He was first arrested in April 2023 as part of the long-running police investigation Operation Branchform into the SNP's finances. He appeared at Edinburgh sheriff court in March this year, where he faced a charge of embezzlement. He made no plea and was granted bail.

Sturgeon's husband granted legal aid in SNP embezzlement case
Nicola Sturgeon's estranged husband can have his legal costs funded by the Scottish taxpayer, it has emerged. Peter Murrell, the former SNP chief executive who faces a charge of embezzlement, has had an application for legal aid approved by the Scottish Legal Aid Board. Liam Kerr MSP, the Scottish Conservative shadow justice secretary, said: 'It will stick in the throats of hard-pressed Scots that they're picking up the tab... especially at a time when his party have squeezed the legal aid budget.' Jackie Baillie, the Scottish Labour deputy leader, said: 'Taxpayers will be scratching their heads at why they should have to foot the bill for Peter Murrell.' Mr Murrell, 60, was first arrested in April 2023 as part of the police investigation into the SNP's finances. He appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in March where he faced a charge of embezzlement, making no plea. Until he stood down in 2023 during the leadership race to succeed Ms Sturgeon, Mr Murrell had been the chief executive of the SNP for more than 20 years. No payments made so far The Scottish Legal Aid Board said no payments have been made so far following a successful application for solemn legal aid by Mr Murrell's lawyers on April 30. Legal aid is usually granted to those who cannot afford to pay for legal help themselves, though in some cases they still need to make their own contribution. Mr Murrell was reportedly on an annual salary of almost £80,000 as the chief executive of the SNP from 1999 to 2023. He quit after his head of communications claimed he had been given inflated membership numbers by party headquarters. Mr Murrell was later arrested as part of a police investigation into the SNP's finances that centred around £600,000 of funding the SNP pledged to spend on independence campaigning. In April last year, Police Scotland said Mr Murrell had been charged 'in connection with the embezzlement of funds from the Scottish National Party'. 'Application met tests we have to apply' A spokesman for the Scottish Legal Aid Board said: 'When assessing an applicant's eligibility for legal aid, we look at their financial position at the time of their application to ensure they meet tests set by legal aid legislation. 'This includes information they give us about their salary, the amount of money they have in the bank and any investments, which might be available to fund their own defence privately. Peter Murrell's application met the tests we have to apply when deciding whether to grant legal aid.' Earlier this year, Ms Sturgeon announced she and Mr Murrell had 'decided to end' their marriage. In a social media post, Ms Sturgeon said the pair had been separated for some time and said the decision to end the marriage had been made 'with a heavy heart'.

Legal aid for Murrell could end if SNP repays loan
According to the Electoral Commission's finance database, the party still owes Mr Murrell £60,000 from a loan payment of £107,620 'to assist with cashflow' in June 2021. READ MORE Mr Murrell was first arrested in April 2023 as part of the police investigation into the SNP's finances. He appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in March this year, where he faced a charge of embezzlement, making no plea. Until he stood down in 2023 during the leadership race to succeed his now estranged wife, Nicola Sturgeon, he had been chief executive of the SNP for more than 20 years. SLAB said no payments have been made so far, following a successful application for solemn legal aid by Mr Murrell's lawyers on April 30. A spokesperson said that when assessing someone's eligibility for legal aid, they consider the applicant's financial position at the time of the application, including salary, bank balance and any investments. 'Peter Murrell's application met the tests we have to apply when deciding whether to grant legal aid,' they said. SLAB's guidance indicates that debts owed to an applicant may be counted as capital, particularly if the money is recoverable. However, the board has discretion to disregard these assets if they are deemed 'trapped' or not readily accessible. Mr Murrell and Ms Sturgeon are to divorce (Image: Newsquest) The Herald asked SLAB whether the £60,000 owed by the SNP was factored into Mr Murrell's assessment, and whether that sum could be clawed back by the legal aid board if repaid in future. SLAB was also asked whether the SNP's status as both debtor and alleged victim of embezzlement had any impact on its decision-making. A spokesperson said: 'We cannot comment on the specifics of an individual's application for legal aid. 'Any grant of legal aid is made on the condition that we must be advised of any change of financial circumstances during the lifetime of a case. 'If any material change means the client is no longer eligible to continue to receive legal aid, we will terminate the grant.' Scottish Conservative shadow justice secretary Liam Kerr said: 'The public will be rightly outraged if the SNP's failure to repay their £60,000 debt to Peter Murrell is the reason why Scottish taxpayers are picking up the tab for his legal costs. 'The SNP should have severed all ties with their disgraced former chief executive years ago. They must explain why they have still not repaid this loan, given it now appears to be directly hitting hardworking Scots in the pocket.' The SNP has been approached for comment.
