The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry hears teachers at the Perthshire school took 'delight' in caning children.

Its latest session heard experiences of former pupils of Morrison's Academy, established in 1860 and a boarding school until 2007.One ex-student said he was tormented by a more senior pupil who threatened to brand him with a red-hot poker and stubbed out a cigarette on his bare skin.

He told how a house captain heated a poker in the stove until it was red hot "then approached me menacingly until the poker was inches from my nose". He told how when he was around 12 or 13, a boy in his class had his wrist broken after a caning by a French teacher who was thereafter banned from using belts for punishment."The beatings I took from that man still disturb me."
