A former nun who assaulted vulnerable young people at children’s homes more than 40 years ago has been jailed while another former nun and a retired support worker were also sentenced.
Nuns Carol Buirds, 75, known as Sister Carmel Rose, and Eileen McElhinney, 78, who was known as Sister Mary Eileen, as well as ex-support worker Dorothy Kane, 68, were found guilty of subjecting multiple victims to cruel and unnatural treatment over nine years, following a trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in November.
