An elderly nun has denied that children were beaten, force-fed and humiliated at a controversial care institution. The 92-year-old told Scotland’s Child Abuse Inquiry that Smyllum Park orphanage was a “happy place” and the young residents “had everything”.
Giving evidence from behind a screen, the nun said she had not witnessed any cruelty or struck any children at Smyllum Park. She told the inquiry she was based there from 1957 to 1964.
