Another secured creditor, Historic Environment Scotland (HES), said it was “saddened” by the developments.
It provided funding through grant schemes in 2012, 2013 and 2017 for work on stonework, the roof, joinery, plasterwork and heating to the sum of £500,000.
“We were not approached by the board of the trust about their recent issues, and would encourage early engagement with anyone facing similar issues,” it said.
“However, a key specification of this funding, in line with other funders of the house, in relation to it being sold, or going into liquidation, was the recovery of funds during the lifetime of the contracts.
“We are working with the other project funders as well as the liquidator and very much hope a positive solution to the situation can be found.”
