Council-run Lauriston Castle Trust under scrutiny from charity watchdog

A COUNCIL-RUN charity tasked with the upkeep of a historic property in Edinburgh has come under scrutiny from watchdogs.  The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) is looking into concerns relating to the governance and decision-making of Lauriston Castle Trust.  Local campaigners have previously raised fears over the condition of parts of the estate and the management of an endowment fund. A spokeswoman for OSCR confirmed it is engaging with the council as the sole charity trustee, but said it would not be appropriate to comment further. Perched close to the shores of the Firth of Forth, Lauriston Castle dates back to the late 16th century and is described as a hidden gem by VisitScotland. An earlier castle fell victim to the Burning of Edinburgh by English forces in 1544.
