Martin's disappearance led to a Holyrood row.
Both Labour and the Tories demanded an independent review of open prisons and the Tories at one stage considered tabling a no-confidence motion in Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill.
Regulations were said to have been tightened after the case of Robert Foye, jailed last year for raping a schoolgirl while on the run from Castle Huntly.
Labour questioned why Martin was in an open prison in the first place.
The case dominated Labour leader Iain Gray's exchanges with Alex Salmond during First Minister's Questions in Holyrood last Thursday.
Mr MacAskill said later that the number of people absconding from open prisons had fallen sharply since the Foye case.
He also wrote to the head of the prison service, Mike Ewart, to ensure "any further lessons from this current case are applied."
Tory justice spokesman Bill Aitken said locating Martin was a "significant relief" for the general public and for Mr MacAskill.
He said: "He was surely afraid that if Brian Martin created any more havoc it would have brought his career to an end.
Liberal Democrat justice spokesman Robert Brown said: "People in the local area will be breathing a big sigh of relief at this news.
"They'll be joined by the justice secretary as the spotlight has been firmly focused on his mistakes for the past two weeks."
He added: "Kenny MacAskill needs to up his game. A good start would be reviewing this inmate's suitability for Castle Huntly."
