Ann Gloag House: Where Does Ann Gloag Live?
Gloag has owned Beaufort Castle near Inverness since 1995, and Kinfauns Castle, near Perth since 2004. Perth is a city beside the River Tay in central Scotland.
She has attempted to block off private access at Kinfauns, on 12 June 2007, a court ruled that she was legally entitled to bar the public from an area of woodland on the grounds of Kinfauns Castle.
Despite assurances to staff on the long-term investment in the airport, management announced a consultation on closure in April 2014.
Uncertainty about the airport’s future led flight operators that were using Manston to leave, notably KLM, which was running a twice-daily service to Amsterdam Schiphol.
A number of bids were forthcoming during the consultation period to buy and run the airport, but, on 15 May 2014, Manston was closed with the loss of 144 jobs in the airport and an unknown number in the surrounding area.
