Nine men have been reported to the fiscal in connection with alleged abuse at a former Catholic boarding school in the Highlands.
Prosecutors are now considering the evidence submitted in relation to Fort Augustus Abbey.
The alleged offences took place between 1967 and 1992 – around the time that the school, which was run by Benedictine monks, was closed.
A number of victims came forward in the aftermath of the revelations about Jimmy Saville’s paedophile past.
The shamed broadcaster visited the school several times during his trips to the Highlands.
