Locals Deny U.S. President Donald Trump's Claim Regarding Second Aberdeenshire Course

U.S. President Donald Trump has been accused of "failing to grasp reality" after claiming plans for a second golf course in Aberdeenshire have "already received the green light," according to Martyn McLaughlin of the SCOTSMAN. Trump's latest book boasts the new course has been "approved" by Aberdeenshire Council, which has "yet to consider the planning application." It comes as new documents reveal the local authority’s planning experts have expressed concerns over "regular conflict between the public and the golf course." The application for the new MacLeod course -- named after Trump’s mother, Mary Anne MacLeod -- "will come before Aberdeenshire’s Formartine area committee" on April 25 or, failing that, June 13, a council spokesperson said. The issue of public access "will be key to the decision." The course would adjoin Balmedie Country Park, which is a "popular recreational area in the protected dune system" (SCOTSMAN, 3/25).
