BAT OUT OF HELL HOUSE

It is believed that up to 20 of the TV paedophile's victims were abused at his remote home in Glen Coe.

His cottage, Allt-na-Reigh, lies in ruins and is covered in graffiti, with councillors approving its demolition in June.

It was bought for redevelopment by the director of Kirkcaldy-based Green's grocery chain, Harris Aslam, in 2021.

One of the conditions of planning permission granted by Highland Council was that no development could commence until an updated bat survey has taken place.

It also insisted that a Species Protection Plan had to be submitted and approved.
