Amanda Knox was filmed laughing and smiling on a visit to the Highlands days after promoting a documentary about her flatmate’s 2007 murder.
The 38-year-old American was twice convicted of the brutal killing of British woman Meredith Kercher, 21, in 2009 and 2014 after an acquittal was overturned.
Now the American, who has been criticised by Ms Kercher’s family’s lawyer for ‘cashing in’ on their daughter’s death, has been spotted out and about in Scotland.
In her latest social media post, captioned ‘when your friends are hungry in the Scottish Highlands’, she shared a video of her driving before slowing down to pass a M&S grocery bag out the window to a passing vehicle.
Her male passenger can be heard shouting: ‘It’s not a drug hand-off, I swear’, as passenger in the oncoming vehicle grabs the bag.
In another post she wrote: ‘The Bonnie banks of Loch Lomond’ which was accompanied by a picture of her smiling for the camera with a swan in the background.
Her journey north of the Border is part of her first visit to the UK which last week saw her fly in to London to host two sell-out screenings of her documentary, Mouth Of The Wolf, which revisits Ms Kercher’s murder 19 years on.

The show is directed by Ms Knox’s husband Christopher Robinson and follows her return to Perugia, Italy, where Ms Kercher body was found in the flat she shared with Ms Knox.
She had been sexually assaulted and suffered multiple stab wounds with Ms Knox and her her then boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito initially convicted of the killing.
Since being acquitted for the second time in 2015, Ms Knox has written a memoir, launched a true crime podcast and even toured as a stand-up comedian.
Her supporters insist that the mother-of-two is a victim who was wrongfully imprisoned and she now advocates for justice reform.
But the family’s lawyer Francesco Maresca told the Mail last week: ‘We don’t understand why she just can’t close this chapter. To us it appears she is just famehungry and chasing notoriety.’
He added that her repeated ventures showed a desire to continue ‘making money from Ms Kercher’s memory’.
Ms Knox’s original conviction was overturned in 2011. But she was convicted again after a retrial in 2014 of Ms Kercher’s murder, which happened while they were living in Italy, before she was sensationally acquitted in 2015.
