Social Sessions - Fornethy House Scandal (TRIGGER WARNING)

Описание: Fornethy House of Horrors: Survivors Kellie Fox & Kelly Burns Share Their Harrowing Stories | Social Sessions

🚨 TRIGGER WARNING 🚨

This episode contains detailed discussions of historic child abuse (physical, emotional, psychological, and sexual). Viewer discretion is strongly advised. If you're affected, support resources are listed below.

In this raw and emotional episode of Social Sessions, I sit down with two extraordinary Fornethy House survivors: the incredible Kellie Fox and Kelly Burns. These brave women open up about their experiences at Fornethy House – a remote Scottish mansion in Angus that operated as a "respite" facility for vulnerable young girls from Glasgow in the 1960s–1990s.

What was sold as fun holidays turned into nightmares of systematic abuse by staff. Hundreds of women have since come forward with harrowing accounts. In 2025, former teacher Patricia Robertson was convicted of abusing 18 girls, yet survivors continue fighting for full inclusion in Scotland’s Redress Scheme, a public apology, and real accountability.

Kellie and Kelly share their arrival as children, the daily horrors, the lifelong trauma, and the mysteries that linger: missing personal records, the bizarre 1998 council sale of the derelict property for the strangely patterned £111,222 to private buyer Ian Gray (who never occupied or renovated it), and allegations linking deceased MP Sir Nicholas Fairbairn to visits and abuse.

This is one of the most heartbreaking yet inspiring conversations I’ve ever recorded. Their resilience, healing journeys, and determination to speak out prove that survivors can overcome unimaginable pain and turn it into powerful change. A true testament to human strength 💪❤️
