Scottish conservationists hope to convert a Highland sporting estate into a rewilding showcase after a mystery benefactor gave them more than £17.5m to buy it.

The Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT), best known for its small nature reserves, has bought Inverbroom estate near Ullapool in north-west Scotland, complete with an 11-bedroom lodge that boasts an indoor swimming pool.

It was given the funds needed to buy Inverbroom by a private donor, who does not want to be named, on the understanding the 7,618-hectare estate would be acquired for conservation purposes.
