Trust selling Skye clan estate and historic castle under probe

The Clan Donald Lands Trust (CDLT) has overseen Clan Donald's lands on the Isle of Skye since the 1970s, which includes the famous Armadale Castle and visitor centre. The National reported in March how the trust had made the "difficult" decision to sell the entire 20,000-acre estate due to financial challenges. The decision was met with criticism from locals and families around the world with ties to the clan, which is one of the oldest and largest in Scotland.

A spokesman told the Sunday Mail: "OSCR has received a number of concerns from the public about the CDLT. "We are now engaging with the charity trustees to establish the facts of this case, and we have sought extensive information and explanation from them. "We are specifically looking to understand the current financial position of the charity and the circumstances that led to the decision to put significant charitable assets up for sale." The watchdog added that it would decide if further action is necessary once it has established the facts. The CDLT was founded in 1971 to manage the clan's assets and to "promote and preserve the history and heritage of Clan Donald". The estate, which covers most of the island's southern Sleat peninsula, is used by tenant crofters and farmers.

The CDLT has four trustees – its chair, London businessman Ranald Macdonald, owner of ­the Boisdale restaurants, Yorkshire-based ­landowner Sir Ian MacDonald of Sleat, US-based retired Major Bruce MacDonald, and Diane Carey-Schmitz. When the decision to sell the estate was announced earlier this year, many locals were reportedly taken by surprise. The National reported how Community Land Scotland claimed that residents were "understandably frustrated and disappointed" regarding the trust's decision and called for the sale to be delayed.
