A councillor is leading the calls for his family to abandon their links with the area amid a wave of accusations against the mogul, who died last year.
Chris Ballance, who leads the Green group at Highland council, said Fayed should also be posthumously stripped of a prestigious Freedom of the Highlands award given to him by the former local tourist board in 2002. He said: “Apart from some improvements to a local village hall, he did nothing to help the Highlands . “I have no idea why anyone thought he might deserve an award in the first place.
” Fayed bought Balnagown estate in Invergordon, about 30 miles from Invernes s, in 1972. Its pink castle is still used by his wife Heini Wathen and their four kids Jasmine, Camilla, Karim and Omar. The castle is owned by a firm called Bocardo Societe Anonyme, whose overall owner is Ocarina Trustee AG, based in Liechtenstein – a country often described as a tax haven.
