Family bequeath £3.5m to National Trust for Scotland
BBC News
The family of an Aberdeenshire-born lawyer has left more than £3.5m to the National Trust for Scotland.
The bequest, one of the largest in the trust's history, was made in memory of George Anderson, who died in 1952.
The money represents the residue of his family's estate following the death of his daughter, Clovella Mutch, of Elgin, in December.
The trust said it was "overwhelmed" by the bequest.
George Anderson was born in Aberdeenshire in 1869 but emigrated to South Africa in the early 1900s.
