Abuse of children at Aberdeen’s Nazareth House was once an “open secret”, a local councillor has claimed.
Martin Greig said the city’s people knew of the brutality faced by children at the home but failed to act because such actions were “considered normal”.
Mr Greig said that while it was “horrific to acknowledge” it was nonetheless true and called upon current and future generations to learn lessons from what took place.
The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry is investigating allegations against the Catholic Sisters of Nazareth order who are accused of a litany of historical child abuse allegations.
Police revealed that officers had received 308 complaints about 194 people associated with institutions run by the order between 1934 and 1984.
