Trump in Scotland: The Real Real Deal

The less publicised view of Donald J Trumps escapades in trying, and some would say failing, to develop a golf resort on the North East Coast of Scotland. Written by a Journalist with many years experience in the area and the support of the residents who have survived there despite attempts to remove them from their homes. Suzanne kelly personally observed the fight between tenacious locals and the alleged multi millionaire developer who sought to steam roller his plans through and hit a solid obstacle in the Scottish approach to honesty.
