Would you feel the same if it was your land.
This isn't really high quality land we're talking about.

Not to mention it good grazing for small herds of cattle.
It's not like he's the evil emperor from hell who's stealing everyone's homestead and rubbing his hands together going 'nya ha ha'.
hey look in all fairness, it is seriously doubtful that Donald even has clue about this specific case.

And here I thought we cherished small business and independent living. Seriously though look at those maps, it looks like it either cuts them off from town or goes over their home.
Scottish authorities reject Trump resort
EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) — A Scottish council on Thursday rejected a plan by Donald Trump to build a golf course on a stretch of remote and stunning coastline that is home to some of the country's rarest birds.
After a heated debate lasting 2 1/2 hours, Aberdeenshire Council's Infrastructure Committee rejected plans for the Trump International Golf Links after a tie-breaking vote from the committee chair. An initial vote was 7-7.
Opponents of the development said sand dunes at the Menie Estate, 15 miles north of Aberdeen, should be protected as the habitat of rare birds such as Lapwings, Redshanks and Skylarks.
A week ago, Trump and his organization were jubilant when the council's Formartine area committee approved the golf course in a 7-4 vote. But Thursday's vote takes precedence over the earlier decision.
The council failed to take into account the wishes of the people, and ultimately they are the losers here.
The Trump Files: Donald's War on His Scottish Neighbors
For years, he harassed and insulted people living next to one of his golf courses.
When Donald Trump was putting together the plans for Trump International Gold Links in Balmedie, Scotland, his vision included buying out the neighbors surrounding the course so he could knock down their houses and have ocean views that weren't "obliterated by a slum." But several of those neighbors fought back, kicking off a battle that still hasn't fully died down...
In one case, Trump workers blocked in the cottage belonging to Susie and John Munro, constructing a two-story-high hill in their front yard and then adding a fence and locked gate, the couple said. Whenever it rains, they say, their yard fills with water and their steep dirt road turns into a mudslide.
In Scotland, Trump Built a Wall. Then He Sent Residents the Bill.
BALMEDIE, Scotland — President-elect Donald J. Trump has already built a wall — not on the border with Mexico, but on the border of his exclusive golf course in northeastern Scotland, blocking the sea view of local residents who refused to sell their homes.
And then he sent them the bill.
David and Moira Milne had already been threatened with legal action by Mr. Trump’s lawyers, who claimed that a corner of their garage belonged to him, when they came home from work one day to find his staff building a fence around their garden. Two rows of grown trees went up next, blocking the view. Their water and electricity lines were temporarily cut. And then a bill for about $3,500 arrived in the mail, which, Mr. Milne said, went straight into the trash.
