Child migration 'shameful' part of Scotland's history, judge concludes

Many children's homes and charities adopted the practice of sending orphan children abroad to start new lives

She added: "Although decades have passed since the last shipload of child migrants left our shores, and though apologies have been made, families reunited, and public inquiries conducted in other jurisdictions to examine what happened to their children, it is important to listen to and understand what happened to all child migrants including those from Scotland.

The report said Canada received the majority of child migrants, with an estimated 80,000 children dispatched from the UK by 1920.After World War Two, Australia became the most popular destination for child migration, the report continued.During hearings, Lady Smith heard evidence from 45 child migrants.

Girls had to assist in caring for the elderly, including men suffering from senile dementia. This included washing their soiled sheets and preparing dead bodies for burial.They also had inadequate food and clothing and went barefoot in winter.Many are still haunted by their experience, the report said.
