THE former wife of an American diplomat has said their baby was cremated and "mixed with dirt" at scandal-hit Mortonhall Crematorium.
Madelaine Cave and Donald Holm, former US Consul General in Scotland, were in Amsterdam when their baby Meghan died at 15 days old because of an undiagnosed heart condition.
The couple decided to have her cremated in Edinburgh and planned to scatter her ashes on the Lammermuir Hills, where Mr Holm had proposed.
