Larchgrove children’s home in Glasgow was one of many boy brothels in Scotland.
In the 1970s, Peter Righton, a very well connected member of a pedophile ring, was given the job of leading an investigation into allegations of abuse at Larchgrove.
Naturally, there were no prosecutions resulting from Righton’s inquiry.
:
The Magic Circle is said to be group of top people in Scotland involved in child abuse and the use of rent boys.
Reportedly, top people in the criminal justice system would arrange light sentences in return for gay sex.
[23a].
Many top people have been linked to the Magic circle, including:
Lord Hardie (judge of the Court of Session, and former Lord Advocate)
Mr Ivor Reginald Guild (Ex Senior Partner of solicitors Shepherd and Wedderburn and prominent resident of the Edinburgh’s New Club)
The late Very Reverend Andrew Herron (former Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland)

In 1988 possible homosexual blackmail had been suggested in the Burnett Walker Solicitors case [37].
In 1989 Lord Devaird mysteriously resigned
[119].
Operation Planet
On 24th March 1990 Lothian and Borders Police launched Operation Planet after a 16 year old boy from a care home, was sodomised by a number of men, having been given cannabis beforehand [1].
Five defendants walked free.
The Orr Report
Detective Inspector Roger Orr’s report concluded:
“Homosexuality may well have been used as a means to seriously interfere with the administration of justice”
[10] by “a well-established circle of homosexuals”, including judges, sheriffs and lawyers. Significantly, the report named names!
The report has still never been published and appears to have vanished.
Fettesgate
At around midnight on July 19, 1992, an intruder entered the offices of the Serious Crime Squad and made off with a haul of confidential files.
One file was about the “magic circle”.
It was leaked.
The Crown Office appointed QC William Nimmo Smith, and a regional Procurator Fiscal, James Friel, to investigate (and arrange a cover-up?).

Nimmo Smith / Friel Report
Nimmo Smith was duped into revealing his findings to a bogus journalist.
The “journalist” was none other than Derek Donaldson, the original thief of the Orr Report.
The Nimmo Smith report found no evidence of a homosexual conspiracy.
Days later, Nimmo Smith was admitted to hospital with nervous exhaustion.
In essence the Nimmo Smith / Friel Report found all the lawyers linked to the Magic Circle clique innocent of any wrongdoing and all of the policemen who investigated this affair guilty of homophobia. All the rent boys and others who supported the Orr findings were liars and crooks. Peoples powers of recall was also found by Nimmo Smith / Friel to be perfect among the lawyers, and wanting among the others [8a].
The Nimmo Smith report refers to a boy
