KNOCK DOWN THIS SHRINE TO ABUSE

Victim Lynne: Bulldoze building or suffering goes on

- RUTH SUTER

A SURVIVOR of the notorious Fornethy "House of Horrors" has called for the building to be demolished after eerie images showed the abandoned school left to rot.

Lynne Sheerin was one of hundreds of girls who endured mental, physical, and sexual abuse at the mansion in Kilry, Angus, between 1960 and 1980.

Then aged eight, she attended the school for six weeks in 1975 and was subjected to appalling abuse at the hands of teachers and staff.

The former pupil, from Mosspark in Glasgow, was told she would be attending the school for a "holiday" but was beaten, force-fed, inappropriately touched and mentally abused by staff.

Speaking to the Record, Lynne, now 56, called for the former facility to be flattened after new images surfaced of the building lying in a state of decay.
