happened to the remains of their babies.  21:04, UK, Wednesday
30 April 2014  Hundreds of bereaved parents are facing a
"lifetime of uncertainty" about what happened to their baby's
remains.  Parents of still and newborn babies who had died were
lied to by staff at the council-run Mortonhall Crematorium in
Edinburgh and told there were no ashes to scatter.  However, in

scattered for decades without the knowledge of families.  Former
Lord Advocate Dame Elish Angiolini on Wednesday presented a

babies.  The report said: "The outcome of this investigation

253 babies who are the subject of this investigation.  Bereaved
