A laird faces having to sell off parts of his estate – which includes Scotland’s most northerly nudist beach – after claiming he has lost £130,000 in a crypto scam.
Michael Dudgeon only got involved in the scheme to help pay off the bills at his 4000-acre Crakaig Estate in Sutherland. Dudgeon, 71, was tempted after seeing an ad promising huge returns.
He ploughed in nearly £100,000 in cash and investments with a broker that included crypto currency and oil price leverage. His portfolio appeared to have risen to £402,000.
