A wealthy businessman yesterday told how he “lived in fear” of his priest headmaster.
The man, now 50 and living abroad, said Thomas Seed, known as Father Benedict, brutally beat him and “haunted my dreams”.
Seed, 83, the former headmaster at Fort Augustus Abbey boarding school, is on trial at Inverness Sheriff Court accused of assaulting the man and seven other pupils.
The alleged victim who gave evidence yesterday told the jury he was belted with a leather tawse, which left his hands and wrists bleeding, when he was 14 or 15.
