Sid Hingerty, 72, is to walk for justice starting on 13 May 2014 at Nazareth House, 1647 Paisley Road West, Cardonald, Glasgow at 10 am.
Mr Hingerty will be visiting towns and cities across the country and would like all abused children from the care system who are now adults to give him letters so that he can hand them to the relevant Government Offices on his walk.
The location for the beginning of the walk for justice has been deliberately chosen. Nazareth House has been hit by scandals and another article appeared recently in the Scottish Express 2 February 2014.
The Sisters of Nazareth, the Roman Catholic order of nuns which operated dozens of orphanages across Britain, recently apologised to children who suffered in their institutions in Northern Ireland.
That apology came at the start of a public inquiry in the Province, the largest of its kind in UK history, yet the Scottish Government has consistently ignored demands to set up a similar judge-led investigation here.
Last night, Mrs Peacher and her husband Andrew said they hoped that by coming forward with their story they could help put pressure on Holyrood ministers to start taking the issue seriously.
They reported ...incidents to the police in 2002 but were eventually told there was not enough evidence to proceed. Last night, Police Scotland confirmed that a new inquiry was now underway.
