LONDON (AFP) – Police are investigating claims of physical and sexual abuse at one of Scotland’s best known Catholic boarding schools.
The probe follows a BBC investigation which gathered evidence from former pupils at the now-closed Fort Augustus Abbey School and its preparatory school Carlekemp, run by Benedictine monks.
The programme, “BBC Scotland Investigates: Sins of Our Fathers” — which was aired Monday — spoke to 50 pupils and obtained evidence of abuse spanning 30 years.
Police Scotland told AFP that the BBC handed over their information on Sunday and that it was “something that we are investigating at the moment”.
