Sunday Herald: Millionairess Ann Gloag Pleads for Public Money for Estate's Upkeep “It scunners me but it doesn’t surprise me,” said Scottish Socialist Party MSP Rosie Kane. “People like Ann Gloag are always going to be using these sorts of manoeuvres to try and feather their own nest out of the public purse. People like that just do – shame on the lot of them.

“It’s about time they started paying their way. If she was paying her fair share of council tax it probably shouldn’t be so bad, if she stood in line with the other pensioners.

“I just hope the council are on the ball enough to see through these people. If she can’t take care of the properties, hand them over to the public sector.”
