A Scots property mogul who set fire to three of his properties and attempted to claim £400,000 from an insurance company has been jailed for 13 months.
Michael Maggs, 52, was building three homes at a site at Earlseat Steading in Moyness, Highlands, when it went up in flames on November 29, 2017. Fire crews were scrambled to the late-night blaze and were able to extinguish the inferno, however two of the houses were left completely destroyed.
