Jennifer McLellan is awaiting contact from officials as the UK begins a 'large-scale' evacuation.
On Tuesday Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirmed families with children, the elderly and people with medical conditions will be prioritised on RAF flights leaving from an airfield near the capital Khartoum.
But Mr Gillies criticised the UK government's response to the crisis as "shameful" and said it had been jolted into action by media coverage. Romisa Albashir told Good Morning Scotland her family in Sudan had experienced the full horror of the conflict. Amar Osman from Dunfermline, who was visiting relatives near Khartoum, said the situation was "very scary".
Speaking from north Khartoum, he told BBC Scotland: "It will be three or four days before we get to Aswan."
