Scotland's SNP government is considering paying compensation to Gypsies for historical abuse and "intergenerational trauma".
From the 1940s to the 1980s, the authorities tried to force them to abandon their nomadic lifestyle.
Families were moved to poor quality housing, while some children were moved into care.
A report commissioned by the government described the policy as "cultural genocide".
First Minister John Sweeney formally apologized in 2025.
