A elderly man has been charged in connection with allegations of sexual and physical abuse at a Catholic boarding school.
Last month allegations were made against monks at Fort Augustus Abbey School in the Highlands, and Carlekemp, its feeder school in East Lothian.
The claims came to light in a BBC documentary where five men said they were raped or sexually abused by monks between 1953 and 1974. Many of the claims have been made against men who are now dead, including one who died in Australia last week.
Police Scotland started an investigation into the abuse claims and the two schools, which are both now closed.
On Monday, Police Scotland said an 80-year-old man from the east Highlands area has been charged in connection with the claims.
A report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal.
