More than 20 potential victims of alleged abuse by monks at two Catholic boarding schools have been identified by police.
Former pupils at the Fort Augustus Abbey school in the Highlands and its East Lothian feeder school, Carlekemp, have claimed that they were molested and beaten by the monks who taught them decades ago. Both schools are now closed.
Police said they have been investigating since March following a report from a former pupil and more allegations came to light in a recent BBC documentary.
Charity Children 1st has set up a dedicated support line for anyone affected to contact them.
