A former East Lothian-based Catholic boarding school has become the focus of abuse claims following a BBC investigation.

Accounts of physical and sexual abuse spanning 30 years have been revealed at Carlekemp Priory School in North Berwick and Fort Augustus Abbey School in the Highlands. Both schools are now closed.

The allegations emerged following an investigation by BBC Scotland which said it had spoken to 50 former pupils about their experiences at the schools which were run by Benedictine monks. Carlekemp was a prep school for Fort Augustus Abbey School.
