The daughter of Scotland's biggest private landowner shared a picture of her siblings just days before the Sri Lanka terror attacks.

Anders Holch Povlsen, 46, confirmed that three of his four children were among the 290 people killed in the blasts over the Easter weekend.

The billionaire had been on holiday with his family when suicide bombers detonated at luxury hotels and churches.

Alma, Povlsen's daughter, had taken to Instagram just days before the attack to share a picture of her siblings Astrid, Agnes and Alfred.

The 46-year-old billionaire and his wife Anne are yet to say which of their three children passed away.

A spokesman for the family said: "Unfortunately, we can confirm that. We ask you to respect privacy and we therefore have no further comments."

Anders is the largest shareholder in Asos, but also has a huge portfolio of estates and historic buildings throughout Scotland - making him the biggest private landowner in the country.

His land includes Aldourie Castle, Ben Loyal, Eriboll and Polla, Braegill and Hope, Killiehuntly, Kinloch, Kyle House, Gaick, Glenfeshie, Lundies and Strathmore.

He is also the owner of clothing chain Bestseller which has thousands of stores across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

The estates he owns in Scotland cost him around £100million.

The family currently stay at their 42,000-acre Glenfeshie estate after Mr Povlsen acquired the property for £7.9million in 2006.

In 2008, he bought the 23,000-acre Braeroy estate near Fort William, the nearby Tulloch estate and Lynaberack in the Cairngorms for £15.5million.

He added four more properties between 2011 and 2015, and three in 2016.

Late last year, it emerged that the couple had bought the 1,100-acre Kinrara estate near Aviemore.

The land he owns, along with his wife, was intended to be passed down to their children who would eventually fulfil an ambition of "rewilding" large parts of the Scottish Highlands.

In an emotional letter posted on his Wildland website, Povlsen and his wife Anne said: "Today, as one of Scotland’s largest landowners, that responsibility has evolved to become a labour of love; a project that we are deeply passionate about.

"It is a project that we know cannot be realised in our lifetime, which will bear fruit not just for our own children but also for the generations of visitors who, like us, hold a deep affection the Scottish Highlands."

A group of Islamic extremists were behind the terror attacks which killed almost 300 people, a senior Sri Lankan official has said.

The seven suicide bombers were all Sri Lankan citizens belonging to National Thowfeek Jamaath, Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne said at a news conference on Monday.

But the group is believed to have links with foreign terrorist networks.

At least 290 people were killed in the explosions, with eight Britons believed to be among the dead, while more than 500 were wounded.

No group immediately claimed responsibility, but 24 people have been arrested in a series of police raids.
