Edinburgh Academy teacher assaulted children with a bat and snooker cue in sickening reign of terror

A former teacher at an exclusive private school has been found to have carried out a shocking series of attacks on pupils over a 20 year period. John Brownlee regularly assaulted children with various implements including a wooden bat called a Clacken, a snooker cue and a golf club while he taught at the capital's Edinburgh Academy. Brownlee, now aged 89, also choked several young boys and ordered them to sit in freezing cold baths and punished them by making them dig in a garden without the proper clothing in cold weather, all between 1967 and 1987. A statement was read out by Graeme Sneddon from the Edinburgh Academy Survivor Group.
