Trump's Wind Farm Vista And International Golf Links To Get Its "Best In Europe" Hotel

Alistair Munro quotes The Donald as saying it'll be the best of its kind, etc...and that his previous vows to not build until the offshore windfarm situation is settled won't stop his lawyers from having a good year.

The celebrity businessman also warned he was planning a “massive lawsuit” in relation to the wind farm – which he claims would ruin the view for golfers at his course, which saw a lavish opening ceremony in July.

Mr Trump, who flew in by private jet to Aberdeen Airport, said: “I’m ready to build a hotel. It will be the best hotel in Scotland and one of the best hotels in Europe. Everybody wants to be near our course.”

By the way, for those of you wondering why Trump International didn't land the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open either of the next two years, heavily supported by the First Minister of Scotland, it's possible that The Donald's charm may have played a role with repeated quotes like this.

He said: “This will end up looking like a poor man’s Disney Land. We want to do something to help Scotland.

“We will fight it. We have good lawyers. There is a really terrible thing going on and it’s all because Alex Salmond has a death wish for Scotland.”

I have to say that considering the views, the sense of having landed in a remote location and the lack of smog, my sense was that the wind farm would be visible from the course. And not a pretty sight.
