**Margie Moffat, the widow of AT Mays travel agent founder Jim Moffat, has donated
£50 million to the Moffat Charitable Trust set up after his death. The trust expects
to make grants of £3 million a year to causes across Scotland.**

The first beneficiary will be the Princess Royal Trust for Carers in Scotland which
will receive £1 million.

Trust chairman Jamie Moffat explained that his mother wanted to develop the commitment
to the community shown by her late husbands by making a substantial donation so 
that she could see the benefits it achieved in her lifetime.
