A BUSINESSMAN who made his fortune in the solar energy sector is to launch a bid for Tayvallich estate in Argyll through an investment company, Highland Rewilding.
Jeremy Leggett, who previously worked for Greenpeace before investing in a solar power company which he later sold for millions, already owns an estate in the Highlands as well as one in Aberdeenshire, but is now planning on launching a bid for Tayvallich, along with fellow investors.
Leggett wants to see the area rewilded and is promising to work with the local community in a bid to see the area also repopulated.
