Press Release
Save Armadale – the Clan Donald campaign
We are astounded that OSCR (the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator) has
established that there are no grounds to intervene in the decision of the charity trustees to sell its landholdings including the Sleat Estate and Armadale property assets, and to find out that OSCR will not be intervening in the sale, given the concerns which have been raised with them.
We have learned today coincidentally the CDLT has applied to OSCR to change the charity’s name and charitable purpose. We believe this an attempt to eliminate all the beneficiaries from the current Deeds of Trust from having any further involvement in this charity.
As a campaign group working on behalf of Clan Donald we are currently looking at our options to appeal OSCR’s decision to approve the change of name and purpose, as well as the decision that there are no grounds for intervention in the sale, as there has been no consultation with the charity’s beneficiaries.
We remain extremely concerned about the status of the heritage collections which remain in the ownership of the Clan Donald Lands Trust for all the reasons outlined in our previous press releases and consider these now to be at high risk.
