There are calls for an independent review into Aberdeen's baby ashes scandal.

Councillor for Hazlehead Ross Thomson - who's now a North East MSP - says he felt sick to his stomach when he read infants were secretly being cremated along with adults.

He says someone from outwith the council needs to conduct a review "In order to truly restore the reputation of the local authority".
