Donald Trump may fail to follow through on Scottish golf resort plan.
Donald Trump is on the brink of abandoning his plans for the "world's greatest golf course" near Aberdeen after claiming his £750m project is being threatened by an offshore windfarm.
The billionaire property developer has disclosed he has frozen plans to build the second 18-hole golf course, the five-star hotel, the luxury villas and houses and the timeshare apartments that make up the planned resort until a final decision is made on the small wind-power project.
Instead, the scheme will feature only the first golf course, which is now due to open slightly earlier than expected, in June, and a small, temporary clubhouse. That building would, Trump said, eventually be replaced by a large, "super-luxury" clubhouse, for which Aberdeenshire council has just granted planning permission.
But Trump's threats are fuelling suspicions that he is using the windfarm, known as the European offshore wind deployment centre, as a reason to abandon the golf resort rather than admit the project is no longer viable or affordable.

Presumably one of the Spittin' Image team helped set up that video which is very clever.
