Celebrity real estate developer and avid golfer Donald Trump has been given the go-ahead to build what he says will be "the world's greatest golf course" in Scotland as part of a US$1.5 billion development.
Despite some local opposition to the project, Aberdeenshire Council has granted the American tycoon, host of the popular reality TV show "The Apprentice", full planning permission to build the championship links in the north-east of the country.
"My team will (now) finally get to work and build the world's greatest golf course for Scotland and for the great game of golf," Trump, 64, said in a statement.
"We are building on the finest piece of land I have ever seen and we will turn it into a national jewel," added Trump who owns several championship courses around the world.
His organisation said that more than 40 million pounds ($60.19 million) had already been invested in the Scottish project during four years of development.
