Some large Highland estates which were insolvent but not yet sold off were managed by trustees for creditors of the owner. They included the lands of Walter Frederick Campbell, proprietor of most of Islay; Norman MacLeod of MacLeod and Lord Macdonald in Skye and North Uist; Sir James Riddell (Ardnamurchan); Macdonnel of Glengarry (Knoydart); and Maclaine of Lochbuie (Mull), among others.
