"Please understand that I am not fighting this proposal merely for the benefit of Trump International Golf Links. Instead I am fighting for the benefit of Scotland."

That seems genuine enough. I feel bad now for some of the names I've called him.

I agree with you, Gibson. Interesting. I can't see Wee Salmond backing down on this one. But there again, Trump is running out of cash and his pre-bookings for the course he has built are way, way down on expectations and so he doesn't want to commit to the second course. The hotel is only viable with both courses.
The land is now worth a lot more than he paid for it and the rumours are that he just wants to get shot of it and cash in. The issue with the turbines is a smokescreen to hide the fact that he is over-stretched financially.

That's interesting Alan - I wasn't aware of all that. I don't think AS will back down either.

Sounds like a interesting piece to keep in touch with. Who dares wins?

Hi Alan

There will be uproar either way I should think.
