An unholy row over bishop accused of bullying.

Bishop Anne Dyer has been accused of bullying and has faced calls to resign. She denies any wrongdoing. But how has the Scottish Episcopal Church handled complaints against her?

Anne Dyer is a trailblazer - becoming the first female Bishop in the Scottish Episcopal Church when she was appointed more than seven years ago. But since then, accusations of bullying and misconduct have dominated her period in charge - even for a time leading to her suspension and calls for her resignation.

Bishop Dyer denies any wrongdoing, while the church itself acknowledges there are deep wounds within the diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney.

Now File on 4 Investigates has discovered new complaints against the bishop, which she says are "totally without merit".
