Two Australian monks were found guilty of sexually abusing their students at the now close Fort Augustus Abbey School in the Highlands and its feeder school at Carlekemp in east Lothian.
The acts of sexual abused happened several decades ago, but it was only during this time that BBC Scotland was able to unearth details of the monks’ dirty secrets through an investigative documentary to be shown on July 29, 21:00 (GMT) on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer.
The accused Australian monk was Father Aidan Duggan who taught at the school back in 1953 and 1974.
The victim who was willing to share his dark past with the monks is Donald Macleod who was a student at the school in 1961. Father Duggan was his piano and photography teacher.
