A former headteacher has been convicted of assaulting children at a residential school in Fife. Alexander Cameron worked at Ovenstone School in Pittenweem, Fife and carrieed out the offences in the 1980s and 1990s. The residential school closed in 1998. Detective Sergeant Sally de Boer, from the Non-recent Child Abuse Investigation Team in Fife, said: “This was a large-scale investigation which spanned a significant period of time at Ovenstone School. “Alexander Cameron committed crimes against vulnerable children who were in his care, and whom he was supposed to be protecting.
