New Trump golf course provokes fury in Scotland

8. Mainly because - unbidden by me - they think Trump's an absolute arsehole.

But Scotland's spoilt for courses, both town and upmarket. There's nothing really there as a special draw for them when they already live in Scotland. They just want to go off in a group, maybe for a weekend or more if further afield, play a few rounds and have a good time. They can do that many places without being confronted with Trumpville.

And I do think his courses and associated facilities overcharge for what they offer. That was all very well when the Trump brand had some cachet. Any it had is diminishing, if not long gone.
