"Donald Trump's Anti-Windfarm Ads Banned Over 'Misleading' Images"

"Watchdog also says US billionaire's Scottish golf resort could not substantiate claim that tourism will be harmed by turbines."



"An ad campaign run by Donald Trump's Scottish golf resort attacking plans for a windfarm has been banned on the grounds that it was misleading.

The US billionaire has threatened to take legal action against plans approved by Scottish ministers to build offshore turbines that he claims will ruin the view from his £750m golf resort in Menie, Aberdeenshire.

Trump International Golf Club Scotland ran ads in Dundee's Courier and Aberdeen's Press and Journal newspapers with the line 'Is this the future for Scotland?'."
