Related: About this forumTrump's Scottish golf course trashed the environment & locals fear his new one will do even more
damageBefore he became president, Donald Trump was best known in Scotland as the man who pushed through the construction of a hugely controversial golf course in the face of fierce opposition from locals and conservationists.
The result was Trump International Golf Links, a sprawling course set among the spectacular sand dunes at the Menie Estate along the coastline of Balmedie, Aberdeenshire.
The former president is very attached to the course: He arranged a high-profile photo-op there as a presidential candidate in 2016. There were even rumors that he would fly there in January to avoid President Joe Biden's inauguration.
However, the resort has done huge damage to local habitats, which lost their protected status due to the irreversible damage the course caused.
