All eight were members of what is thought to be Scotland's biggest paedophile ring and were traced through their explicit exchanges online.

One of their victims was a three-month-old baby.

Police also uncovered the extraordinary double life led by one of the group's ringleaders, James Rennie, who had been considered a pillar of the local community.

They seized almost 125,000 indecent images during Operation Algebra.
