The Donald & Scotland
Friday, November 7th, 2008It seems that there be more fescue than the Donald’s hair with the approval of his beyond golf resort near Abeerden. The complex will be 1,400 acres , 2 courses, hotel & houses. It took two years of bitter battling between environmentalists, government & local residents.
Not unlike Mr Trump it is said that he ’steamrolled’ to get the approval in the two year battle. It’s a hard fight, the golf mecca will bring jobs & investment to the area but the area chosen is part of the Scottish wild life trust. I have been to Scotland and it is a beautiful place, one can only hope that the project stays within the boundaries that have been agreed upon. Many conservationists have commented that any developing will damage birds & wildlife indigenous to the area.
Is there not enough golf courses in Scotland? I think the Donald should think of conservation vs 2 courses & massive structures.
The next question will be, who could actually afford to golf there? I love golf but sometimes I like the environment more. Many have commented that by the time construction starts the global cash crunch might be the only blessing to halt the project.
