MARTIN Gilbert, chief executive of Aberdeen Asset Management, this week realised a gross £1.54 million by selling shares in the investment house and is using the money to buy farmland in Angus.
Revealing Mr Gilbert's decision to buy farmland, a spokesman for Aberdeen told The Herald: "I believe Martin feels that land is a good long-term investment, particularly given no-one can make more land. He has still got quite a significant stake in the company."
