A public inquiry investigating historic child abuse allegations at an Aberdeen children’s home will start next year.
The Scottish Government inquiry is examining the alleged abuse of children in care and has been taking statements since last spring.
Officials said the second stage of the inquiry will focus on five homes run by the Catholic Church.
They will examine homes run by the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul and the Sisters of Nazareth.
In early 2018, the inquiry will look at four Nazareth House sites, which includes Aberdeen.
People with experience of the homes are being asked to contact officials.
A statement issued on behalf of the inquiry said: “Evidence given at hearings will supplement written statements taken from witnesses in advance and documents which have been recovered by the inquiry team during the course of investigations.
