Controversial Highland estate sale leads charity regulator to launch probe into finances and governance
SCOTLAND'S charity regulator is investigating a trust which is selling an ancient Highland clan's lands for £6.8million.
The Clan Donald Lands Trust (CDLT) has overseen Clan Donald's historic lands on the Isle of Skye since the 70s.
It announced in March it would sell the entire estate due to financial challenges. The move was met with fury by locals and families around the world with ties to the clan - one of the oldest and largest in Scotland.
Now the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) has opened a probe into the CDLT's governance and finances following complaints.
A spokesman said: "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.
