A police probe into claims of historic child abuse at a Moray monastery has ended with no one being charged.
The investigation focused on allegations a young boy was violently sexually abused and two others suffered physical harm at 13th century Pluscarden Abbey in the 1960s and 1980s.
Officers began making inquiries at the Roman Catholic abbey – the only working medieval monastery in the UK – after being contacted by a man who claimed to have suffered abuse.
Both he and a second man who also made allegations of abuse at the Benedictine monastery have discussed their claims with support group White Flowers Alba.
