Further allegations have been made of sexual and physical abuse by monks at a former boarding school.
Pupils of the Catholic Fort Augustus Abbey school recently told a BBC Scotland investigation that they were molested and beaten by monks over a period of three decades from the 1950s.
Abuse was also carried out at Carlekemp, its feeder school in East Lothian, it is claimed.
Both schools are now closed. …
Detective Chief Inspector Pamela Ross said: “Further individuals were identified as part of the investigation and following recent media coverage, a further number of former pupils have come forward to speak to us.
“We understand that it must be very difficult to speak about such matters but if anyone has any information about this case, they are encouraged to come forward and report this to police. Any such reports will be directed to the inquiry team and investigated and dealt with very sensitively by trained officers.”
