A letter in yesterday's "Scotsman " congratulated the American developer,David Southworth, for sucessfully creating "Machrihanish Dunes " Golf Course. This was achieved without controversy, and with the enthusiastic support of environmentalists.
The writer went onto say that, keeping in mind the success at Machrihanish, is it not time the Scottish Government and Aberdeenshire Council, had a rethink about Donald Trump's controversial plans, (which they approved ) for the Golf Course etc on the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire? The site at Menie is apparently broadly similar to the site at Machrihanish.
