Two Australian monks have been accused of sexually abusing pupils at a Scottish Catholic boarding school over a period spanning three decades.
Evidence of abuse at the now-closed Fort Augustus Abbey School in the Highlands, and its feeder school at Carlekemp in East Lothian, was uncovered by the BBC.
BBC Scotland spoke to 50 former pupils about their experiences at the schools, which were run by Benedictine monks.
The investigation contains accounts from five men who say they were raped or sexually abused by Father Aidan Duggan, an Australian monk who taught at the schools between 1953 and 1974.
