Troubled Scots tycoon who tried to ban ramblers from land over kidnap fears dies after cancer battle

A troubled tycoon who tried to ban ramblers from his land over kidnap fears has died after a battle with cancer.
Businessman Euan Snowie – whose family sold their waste management firm for £40million before a bitter feud tore them apart – was 53 when he died on Thursday.

Snowie claimed his brother Gordon had tried to boot him out of his country mansion and declare him bankrupt.
Euan then made a phone call to Gordon’s wife which led to his arrest and trial on a charge of making threats to her and her family.
He was found not guilty.
In 2016, he was fined £1000 for assaulting daughter Louise, then 20, in a row about the use of a luxury car and was admonished for smashing windows at his wife’s farmhouse.
In 2018, Government lawyers had him disqualified from holding office as a
