No charges in baby ashes scandal

There will be no criminal proceedings over two baby ashes cases in Fife and Glasgow.

Fiscals concluded there should be no further action over the cases of infant cremation at Kirkcaldy and Daldowie Crematoriums raised in Dame Angiolini’s report into cremations. Dame Angiolini had been looking into the baby ashes scandal at Mortonhall Crematorium when she flagged them up. The Crown Office said both families had been informed. It is thought the practice was carried out from the 1960s until 2011.
