A residential school run by the Christian Brothers was “a place of abuse and deprivation”, the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry has ruled.

She described the evidence as “shocking and distressing”.
The inquiry chairwoman also concluded that members of the Catholic religious order were able to “pursue their abusive practices with impunity”.
