Dear Sir/Madam,

SALMOND MUST TRUMP OBJECTION

I was astounded to see that Donald Trump is objecting to the possible erection of a "monstrous" windfarm near to his new Aberdeenshire golf course. His claim that our First Minister is “hell-bent on destroying Scotland’s coastline and therefore Scotland itself” reminds me of the remarks made by the many NIMBY locals who unreasonably objected to his golf course in the first place.

Mr Salmond's government was quite right to reject this kind of argument then and should do so in this case where the possible economic benefits far outweigh a few small changes to rather indifferent scenery. Mr Trump's golfing customers are, in any case, likely to keep their eyes on the ball and will be unlikely even to register the distant sight of essential green generating infrastructure designed to benefit all the people of Scotland.
