UK/VIPaedophile network in the higher ranks of the Scottish legal establishment.

The "Magic Circle" was a name given to a UK/VIPaedophile network in the higher ranks of the Scottish legal establishment.[1]

Fettesgate

The Fettesgate scandal involved the theft from the Edinburgh police headquarters of a report on the 'Magic Circle'. In July 1992, burglars spent three hours in the Fettes headquarters of the police force. The break-in, through an unsecured window of the Scottish Crime Squad’s ground-floor offices in the HQ building, led to several confidential documents being stolen and Animal Liberation Front slogans being sprayed on the walls. Two journalists who reported on the incident after receiving tip-offs were arrested;

  • Alan Muir, a reporter for The Sun, wrote a story based on an anonymous telephone call on the day of the incident, and was detained for six hours, and
  • Ron McKay, a journalist for Scotland on Sunday found documents after another anonymous call six days later. When he wrote a story based on the documents, he was arrested at dawn, while at his girlfriend's house in Chatham, Kent. He was held overnight, and charged with reset, the crime under Scots law of receiving stolen property. The charges were dropped six months later.

It transpired that the Animal Liberation Front had not been involved in the break-in. The chief constable later admitted that the treatment of Mr McKay was tactless and apologised to the editor of Scotland on Sunday. Nobody has been charged with the break-in.

Cover-up

Lord Rodger, a top Scottish judge announced an inquiry into the Magic Circle allegations but found 'there was no evidence to support claims of a conspiracy in the justice system'.[2][3]

Many top people have been linked to the Magic circle, including Lord Hardie (judge of the Court of Session, and former Lord Advocate)[4]
