Scott Dobbie, chairman of Edinburgh Investment Trust, has made a significant addition to his personal holding in the Invesco-managed trust.
Dobbie, who also chairs the Securities & Investment Institute, bought a further 80,000 ordinary shares this week at a cost of £266,400 to take his stake to more than 636,000 shares.
