A couple have spoken of their shock and distress after being ordered by a national charity to quit their home in Dunkeld for reasons they say remain unclear.
Community councillor Chris Claydon (52) says a decision by the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) to serve notice on her and her partner Scott Trotter (59) to vacate the property she has lived in for the last 18 years has left them “devastated”.
The couple, who run their own online antique business from the home at Castle Cleirach in The Cross, say the charity’s sudden decision to end their short assured tenancy is hard to understand as they claim it has yet to provide a reasonable explanation why they have to move out.
