Donald Trump may be the most famous billionaire associated with Scotland, but what about the wealth of its permanent residents?

There are now a record nine billionaires in Scotland, according to the Sunday Times 2016 Rich List, which was released in April.

Some of those who make the list were born in Scotland, while others have since moved there - the country's huge estates providing a magnet for billionaires from all corners of the world. Take a look at the 11 wealthiest people who made this year's list.
