Mass grave of children in Scotland
EDINBURGH: The bodies of hundreds of children are believed to be buried in a mass grave in Scotland, a report said. The children were all residents of the Smyllum Park Orphanage run by nuns from the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, according to the BBC News investigation report. At least 400 children are thought to be buried in a section of the St. Mary’s Cemetery. According to the report, the orphanage opened in 1864 and provided care for orphans or children from broken homes. It closed in 1981. It looked after a total of 11,600 children. A burial plot was uncovered by two former residents, Frank Docherty and Jim Kane, in 2003.
