The on-going saga of golf course architect Donald Trump’s quest to build “the greatest golf course in the world” in northeast Scotland hit a serious shank.

RSPB Scotland, one of the main conservation organisations consulted on the American tycoon’s scheme to transform the Menie Links into a £1 billion golf resort, has called for the massive development to be sunk by council planners.

“The ‘environmental footprint’ of this project will be enormous… The damage to biodiversity, over the whole site, and to the integrity of the Foveran Links SSSI, is so severe that we believe strongly the application should not be approved.”

No-one from the Trump Organisation was available for comment yesterday.
