'Not to have the chance of belonging to a family and to have a relationship - either good or bad - is a great sin.'
James McGregor, now 78, was put into care when he was a baby in Scotland, and shipped to Western Australia.
He gave evidence at the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry on Monday, saying he has still not come to terms with finding out his family was alive in Scotland. ‘But not to have the chance of belonging to a family and to have a relationship – either good or bad – is a great sin.’The witness told the inquiry a nearby river was a ‘lifesaver’ which he enjoyed swimming in during his youth.
