Ex-Rangers owner Craig Whyte given weeks to sort castle mortgage Former Rangers owner Craig Whyte has been given two weeks to negotiate with the bank on mortgage payments for his castle. Mr Whyte and his estranged wife Kim are named on the title deeds for Castle Grant near Grantown on Spey, which they purchased for £720,000 In 2008. The 42-year-old financed the purchase with a mortgage from Halifax Bank of Scotland, which has raised a civil action against him and his estranged wife over unpaid instalments on the loan. At Inverness Sheriff Court on Wednesday, lawyers representing the pair asked a sheriff for the case to be continued for two weeks in order for settlement to be made. Sheriff Andrew Miller agreed to the extension on the case, which first called at the court last month. An arrest warrant for Mr Whyte was granted in a separate case last week after the former Rangers owner failed to appear as a witness at the court in a theft case against his two housekeepers. He was not present at the brief court hearing on Wednesday, which follows previous court disputes between him and estranged wife Kim. She had previously attempted to seize his Bentley car for it to be sold at auction in order to meet £5000 monthly maintenance payments that Mr Whyte had failed to make. However, the move was blocked in another court move by the businessman who purchased an 85% stake in Rangers from Sir David Murray for £1 in May 2011.
