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 ;-)
