Alan MacPherson, 83, of Stenhousemuir in Stirlingshire, is accused of possessing about two million indecent images of children, described by police and reported in court as the largest such haul seized in Scotland. Falkirk Sheriff Court hears that the scale of the material recovered from his home “overwhelmed” officers’ capacity to check and categorise it, according to reporting.
The outlets agree on the core figure of roughly two million images and on the basic case context: the collection is found at MacPherson’s residence and is being dealt with through the Scottish court system. Both sources also frame the matter in terms of police workload and the size of the seizure, while the BBC specifically characterises it as the biggest hoard of its kind ever seized in Scotland. Other details beyond the quantity and processing challenges are not covered in the provided extracts.
