The late Kenneth Mure QC puts his trust in Tiree

Kenneth Mure QC willed millions of pounds to charity on his death last year at the age of 69. Mr Mure was a member of the three-person tribunal in the Rangers tax case in 2012.

He left the remainder of his estate in a fund, The Misses Nisbet Educational Trust, for the benefit of people who have links to Tiree.

The QC often spent time in his holiday home on the island and was well known within the small community of 650 people.

He wrote in his will: “The trust purpose shall be the advancement of education and that for the benefit of residents or former residents of Tiree and in particular those who have attended school in Tiree and such other persons who in the opinion of the trustees have a substantial personal or family connection with Tiree.”

He added: “The purpose of the trust may be furthered, in particular, by the provision by grants and interest-free loans, and by the payment of fees to enable or assist recipients in the pursuit of higher or further education including for example, university, college, agricultural and technical courses.”
