I left the SNP over this controversy as did many others. They say it would bring work to the area but most of what I've read suggest that all the important stuff would be done by Americans qualified in the various fields. As for the maram grass, that simply goes against nature the dunes forever change and forever change they should. Anyway how many golf courses do we need up here Newmachar, Oldmeldrum (Grenago Stone is here), Royal Aberdeen needs modernised, Stonehaven. Remember we have three of the so-called best links courses at Nairn Dunbar, Royal Dornoch and Cruden Bay. He could have spent money modernising them but no he has to destroy a place of natural and historic interest. Even a planned wind farm in the North Sea has been shelved thanks to this guy. Trump, no thanks!

But loads of respect to you!

(p.s. Kintore Golf Club has a burial cairn on it's course which they look after.)

Is that where they bury golfers who've staggered up the 2nd hole?

I've no time for the comb-over king, but opinion seems split between locals over the destruction of dunes versus income for the area which is not oil-related. Frankly our Tourist board needs to get its stuff together and promote Aberdeenshire as the finest part of Scotland, which it is. We don't need another Americanised course to draw people in, just promote what we have. (Yah-boo to people from other parts of Scotland ;-)
