The Day Donald Trump Got Beat Up By An Old Scottish Farmer.

[Divernan]

7. The Scots call him Wee Donald & have such contempt for him.

The best travel adventure I ever had was a trip to Scotland - the Highlands and Edinburgh - and since then I've enjoyed following Scotland in the news.

The whole saga of Trump's aborted efforts in Scotland was quite entertaining. The man's ego was never on fuller display. Comments following news reports were biting. Ye cannae meddle w' the Scots, lad.

This was due to the Scottish Government’s decision to give the green light to the £230 million European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) in Aberdeen Bay, which will lie within sight of his championship links course.

Mr Trump’s hopes of blocking the development through the Scottish courts were dealt a devastating blow yesterday when Lord Doherty, in a Court of Session judgment, rejected his petition for a judicial review of the government’s decision to give the wind farm development the go-ahead.

Environment campaigners last night welcomed the decision, calling it “great news” for Scotland. Mary Church, head of campaigns at green group Friends of the Earth Scotland, said it was a victory for the environment against a “billionaire bully”. She said: “Not only can this important wind farm go ahead and help pave the way to a low-carbon future for Scotland, but it will give some hope to the communities whose rights Trump has trampled on, that the government and courts can stand up to the billionaire bully.”

Lang Banks, director of environmental group WWF Scotland, said: “It’s good to know despite all his bluster, the courts saw right through Trump’s flimsy, misguided attempts to frustrate Scotland’s ambition to create clean power and green jobs. We hope Mr Trump will now stop wasting any more time and money on this case.”
