A nun who was abandoned as a baby discovered she had inherited a fortune and a brothel.
The 55-year-old - who cannot be identified - was traced to a convent near Glasgow after her mother passed away in Austria.
The mother - known only as Linda K - used to be a circus performer and handed her new-born baby over to an orphanage while on tour in Scotland.
Vienna historian Nicolas Forster, who found the daughter, said: "We were contacted when Linda K. died. We discovered she had some fortune, but no husband and apparently no relatives."
In later life, Linda had set up a brothel, the ownership of which then passed to her daughter, along with a large sum of money.
The nun has sold the business, donating the proceeds and cash to underprivileged children in India.
