Trump warning over golf resort

US property tycoon Donald Trump said yesterday that Scotland would be sending out a disastrous message about investing there if his plans to build a golf resort are crushed.

Trump wants to build a giant, luxury complex on the Scottish east coast near Aberdeen, but has run into opposition from environmentalists and a local farmer who refuses to budge.

The Scottish government has called for a full public inquiry into the plans and Trump is due to give evidence in Aberdeen today.
