The order of nuns which ran a Lanarkshire orphanage where more than 400 children died want to sell the land around it for £6m.
They hope to sell 40 hectares of land around the former Smyllum Park home in Lanark.
But they are facing mounting calls for a memorial to the children who are believed to be buried in a mass grave nearby.
The Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul have not commented.
An investigation by File on 4 in conjunction with the Sunday Post newspaper found that at least 400 children are buried in a section of St Mary’s Cemetery in Lanark.
