Police Scotland said on Friday, a 76-year-old woman has now been charged in connection ‘with the non-recent abuse of children’.
Eleven women and one man, aged between 62 and 85, have already been arrested as part of an investigation into the orphanage at the Lanark home which was run by the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul until it closed in 1981.
