MORE than 20 possible victims of sexual and physical at two Catholic schools, one in the Highlands, have been identified.

The victims were identified as part of the ongoing investigation into allegations of abuse at Fort Augustus Abbey and its feeder school Carlekemp Priory in East Lothian, which began in March following a complaint from a former pupil.

The allegations were also the subject of a high-profile BBC Scotland documentary.

Specialist officers from Police Scotland will carry out a thorough investigation and thereafter will report their findings to the procurator fiscal for the North of Scotland.
