American billionaire, Donald Trump, plans to build the "world's greatest golf course" in northern Scotland. He claims massive public support but opponents say the course would ruin the region's fragile ecosystem. Colin Blane reports on a venture that has split the local community, and developed into a huge political row. "What's important to the local economy is that it's giving access to Mr Trump's brand name. It brings the possibility of bringing Trump and Scotland together." Stewart Dunlop, economist at Strathclyde University and advisor to the Trump Organisation. "The land belongs to me not him. And it never will belong to him." Michael Forbes, local farmer.
