Police and Army investigations have been launched into allegations of vicious beatings of army recruits at Fort George, between Nairn and Inverness, and in Cyprus. The attacks are alleged, by Royal Highland Fusiliers' soldiers, to have taken place over the past two years.
I make no judgement of any kind about these allegations at this stage; I write about them only because Fort George is located very close to where I live and is a place I have visited several times over the years. The only other comment I make now is that I hope, fervently, that this is not another Deepcut scandal in the making.
