Lost children of Smyllum will be remembered at last but why has it taken so long?

THERE are many things we do not yet know about the Poor Sisters of Charity.
We still do not know, for example, how many babies, children and adults they buried in the mass, unmarked grave at St Mary’s cemetery in Lanark, a mile or so from the Smyllum Park orphanage. In truth, we may never know.
However, we do know more today than we did a few weeks ago.
