One local, who did not want to be named, claimed he heard a woman had been “abusive” to one of the committee members, understood to be Ms Kane.
He claimed: “The language she used was exceptionally strong which even a sailor would have been proud of. I wouldn’t use it as a man, never mind it coming from a woman.”
Police Scotland said it received a report of a disturbance in Carron Place, Ardgay, on Nov 23.
Officers issued advice and a woman received a recorded warning in relation to an earlier disturbance on Nov 21.
Ms Kane, 63, told MailOnline it was “really unfortunate” that a “handful of people” had chosen to oppose her plan to take over the land, which she said had no clear use for the public.
‘Homophobic and racist’
Ms Kane also described the police involvement as an “overreaction” despite claiming that some of what was said was “homophobic and racist”.
She said of the alleged abuse: “In my view it wasn’t a disturbance other than a handful of people wanting to see what I’m doing derailed. I’ve got a half a dozen people trying to smear my name and the castle’s name. They’d rather see a ruined castle than a preserved castle.”
Ms Kane was born in Iraq and moved to the UK, later making a fortune as the head of investment at a Saudi-owned company. She transitioned to become Samantha in 1997 and in 2004 transitioned back to a man.
In 2018, she underwent further surgery and hormone replacement therapy to revive her transition into femininity.
Police Scotland said: “On the evening of Thursday Nov 23, police were called to a report of a disturbance in the Carron Place area of Ardgay. Suitable advice was provided and one woman was issued with a recorded police warning following an earlier disturbance on Tuesday Nov 21.”
