POLICE are investigating fresh allegations of sexual and physical abuse by monks at a former Catholic boarding school in the Highlands.
An investigation was launched after former pupils at Fort Augustus Abbey school said they had been molested and beaten by monks over a period of three decades from the 1950s.
In a statement, Police Scotland said they were now liaising with a number of law enforcement agencies across the UK and abroad.
There have also been claims of abuse at Carlekemp, the abbey’s feeder school in East Lothian. Both schools are now closed.
