Work begins on Trump's Scottish golf course
AP
EDINBURGH, Scotland -Workers are clearing rocks and other debris from the site where a controversial golf resort is to be built by American property tycoon Donald Trump.
The work began Wednesday after planners at the Aberdeenshire Council granted permission this week.
Grass will be planted from November to March on an environmentally sensitive stretch of sand dunes to stabilize the beach for development into a championship golf course.
Trump was given permission last year to build the resort featuring a five-star hotel, 1,200 homes and two international-standard golf courses north of Aberdeen.
Some local residents opposing the project have threatened legal action, claiming violations of environmental laws and planning procedures.
