A former resident of a notorious orphanage has said the nuns who abused him will have to “answer to God” for what they did. William Whicher told the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry his hearing was left permanently impaired by a beating he received from a caretaker during his time at Smyllum Park in Lanark in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The 69-year-old, who went to Smyllum after the death of his parents, said he was routinely beaten by a “cruel” nun, on one occasion losing part of a tooth.
