Trump tees off in Scotland
LONDON – Billionaire property developer Donald Trump has won permission to build “the world’s greatest golf course”, complete with high-rise timeshare flats and an eight-storey hotel, on an ecologically sensitive stretch of dunes overlooking the North Sea in Scotland.
The UKP1bn coastal resort north of Aberdeen, which covers 809 hectares, is to have two 18-hole championship courses, four blocks of 950 timeshare flats, 500 “exclusive” homes, 36 villas, a golf academy, and housing for 400 staff.
There will also be a coast road, named – you’ve guessed it – Trump Boulevard.
However,local Michael Forbes has refused to sell his farm and said Trump would just have to build around him.
Trump claimed Forbes’s land was in “total disrepair … rusty tractors, rusty oil cans – I actually asked him, ‘Are you doing this on purpose to try and make it look bad, so I have to pay some more money?'”
Forbes retorted, “Trump’s biggest mistake was having a rant about me and calling me names on the TV.”
