AN INQUIRY into historic child sex abuse will examine practices at two west of Scotland orphanages during its next stage.
Phase two of the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry will hear evidence about two care homes in Lanark and Rutherglen run by the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul.
The inquiry has called for applications to give evidence about practices at Smyllum Park in Lanark and Rutherglen’s Bellevue House.
It has previously been reported that children who lived at the Smyllum Park orphanage endured years of harrowing treatment and abuse.
