 Kinfauns Castle - Castle Duncan Forums
Ann Gloag, the co-founder of the Stagecoach bus empire and one of the richest women in Scotland, has applied for thousands of pounds of public money to spend on the upkeep of her Highland estate, the Sunday Herald has learned.
Gloag is the first landowner in Scotland to try to exempt part of her property from right-to-roam legislation and has gone to court to try to keep walkers off her land.
Gloag believes that if she was forced to move a two-metre high fence closer to her home it would open the estate to raids by organised gangs and expose her family to kidnap attempts.

Ann Gloag, co-founder of Stagecoach, sister of Brian Souter and a terrific example of the hardboiled businesswoman, is apparently furious that her ability to entertain her friends in private is being compromised by the rest of us.
Although Snowie and Gloag have presented their cases in terms of fear of crime, it is clear that, having worked hard for their castles, they want them to be nothing else but their homes.
Gloag has proved herself more than willing to put up with bad press, upsetting neighbours of her Highland home, Beaufort castle in Beauly, with battles over boundaries and plans for a golf resort.

When Ann retired from her day-to-day responsibilities, Brian moved up to the post of chairman and appointed a new chief executive and other senior staff.

A sheriff put on wellington boots and a raincoat to trudge round the £4m estate of one of Scotland's richest women yesterday to decide whether she should be the first private individual to be exempted from right-to-roam legislation.
The millionaire has provoked the ire of council officials and ramblers by erecting a 7ft perimeter fence, topped with barbed wire, around part of the 23-acre estate, which her legal team says is essential to prevent intrusion by the media and protect her family from the threat of kidnap or robbery.
He said the fence was "wholly appropriate", given that Mrs Gloag was a wealthy businesswoman who had valuable artefacts and jewellery in her possession, and that it would mean that any unwelcome visitors would be exposed without giving them easy hiding places.
