If you ever get
to the States,
give me a call.

Oh, thank you
very much.

Breakfast ready,
Gordon?

We've a problem.
What?

The beach.
Ben's beach.
What's the problem?

The problem is
it really is
Ben's beach.

He owns the shoreline.

Four miles of it
from the grass down
to the low tide mark.

I found it in the parish
records when I was checking
out some title deeds.

Can he prove it?
We can't steal the beach
from him, Victor, it's his.

We'll have to
buy it from him.

MALE REPORTER: Donald Trump
has arrived in Scotland to
talk about his plans for what

he claims will be the world's
greatest golf course...

FEMALE REPORTER:
While Donald Trump swept
into the Northeast

on his usual wave of
publicity,

his private jet touched down
at Aberdeen airport

just after 10 o'clock
this morning...

MALE REPORTER 2: Earlier,
environmental protestors have
bought small plots of land

in a bid to block the
controversial development.

FEMALE REPORTER: Michael
Forbes is of course the farmer

who refuses to sell
to Trump...

It's my home.
I've stayed here
for 43 years now.

And he won't but murder it.

FEMALE REPORTER: Mr. Trump
said the development
could still go ahead

without the farmers' land...

TRUMP: If we build a $300-
or $400 million hotel,

I don't think you want
the windows looking down
into a slum.

FEMALE REPORTER: Well,
Donald Trump will be
here for two days.

He says he'll be examining
every square foot

to make sure his final
designs are perfect.

MOLLY: I usually get up about
seven and let the cat out.

And in these dark mornings
I just nip back to bed again
and turn on the TV.

And lie till about, say,
half past seven, get ready,
start my porridge...

Yes, that's for the hens.

Sometimes, I keep out,

if I'm going to have
something with taties,

I keep out a couple
for myself.

We have very good taties.

Just nearly there.

Twenty-four I used to count.

And a fox just
nipped off the lot.

MAN ON RADIO: She's only
asked a question about...

It's all talking
on that station.

And the fox thinks
there's people about.

Because they
don't like people.

That's just lovely.

Old ladies.

And an egg.

ANTHONY: How many do
you get a day?
Oh, well, sometimes two.

Sometimes one.
Sometimes none.

MEDIATOR: I'm sure
you know, guys.
Be mindful of yourselves.

Don't rush forward
with your gear, you'll get
all the shots you want.

Mr. Trump will spend time with
you afterwards as well.

If you spread out, guys,
you'll get the best view.

Give my pipers
a bit of space.

They've divided the marquee
into two sections.

Posh section next door with,
you know, fancy lace
tablecloths and what have you,

and we're getting
coffee and tea.

Hello everybody.

And everyone knows
Martin Hawtree?

Huh? He's the
architect of the site.

How are you?
Nice to see you.
Pleased to meet you.

I was born on the farm
that I worked on
during the war.

But I wasn't brought up on
that farm, because my father
was a lorry driver.

Well, he was actually a
plowman in his younger day.

Here's a plowing match now.
My father did plowing.

That's my father.

He was a prize plower,
my father.

He has lots of cups
and medals.

We used to go and watch them.
I know my father's style
of plowing.

See how he is. Look.

See, he's super bent.

This is where we lived.

That's the shop
at Whitecairns,
which is no more.

There's the Daniels buses.

Eyes are not as good
as they used to be.

But I'll...

When I was here first,
it was March we saw them.

And then last year
it was February.

That's two there that
used to come every year.

And we knew it was
the same two, because
of his long neck.

They're beautiful birds.

Miss Scotland.
Come here a minute.

You won't be going to the
Miss Universe pageant in,
uh, and who's going?

Who's going? How do
you rate her
Yeah.

TRUMP: Do you think
she's good?
Yeah.

Yeah. Aw, I don't
know her beauty.

Are you from this area?

Thank you.

TRUMP JR: There's
so many familiar faces
from the press,

they've really been amazing
supporters of the project.

This is really
a circle of our friends.

This was really a
celebration of our friends.

A celebration of people
that supported us.

It was spectacular for me
yesterday to be able to walk

the final version
of the course with my father.

To say, this is now
what we're doing.

This is what will be
etched into this land.
Forever.

As old provost of the city,
yesterday it was my pleasure

to welcome these
two gentlemen...

We look at the plans you've
got to produce this absolutely

outstanding golf course...

The excitement in this
is absolutely,

outstandingly wonderful.

MEDIATOR: Any questions,
gentlemen?
TRUMP: Very nice questions.

REPORTER: Mr. Trump, what
would you say to the many
local residents here

who feel that you've run
rough-shod over planning
legislation

and environmental issues
simply because you've
got lots of money?

The, uh, that's a very
interesting question because

honestly, this is a very
popular project.

We've had great support from
the council and great support
from the political leaders.

We've saved the dunes,
and from an environmental
standpoint,

it's a much better situation
than it was before
we bought the site.

You can sometimes see the
deer, you know,
coming out of these trees

across there.

They jump the fence.
No problem.

They're so beautiful.

I know they're wild, but
they're not too scared.

You know. They just
seem to put up with us.

Do you want me to
face forward?

Watch this.

ANTHONY: What was the
first thing he said to you?

"Give this man a job,"
he says.

"Give this man a job."
I go, "What job?"

Then he kept saying it.
Three times he said it.

"Give this man a job."
I said, "I got a bloody job.

"I don't want a job."

MEDIATOR: Keep this short,
ladies and gentlemen,
the rain's coming.

Give me an umbrella.

No, I'm just trying...
See I happen to be
a very truthful person.

His property is terribly
maintained. It's slum-like.
It's disgusting.

He's got stuff thrown
all over the place.
He lives like a pig.

And I did say that.
And I'm an honest guy,
and I speak honestly.

And I think that's why some
people like me and some people
probably don't like me.

But I think he'd do himself
a great service if he fixed
up his property.

And I'm not talking money.
It's not a question of money.

It's a question of
a little manual labor.

It explains it
over on the shed.
Just go look at that.

He's nought but a
compulsive liar,
that's for sure.

ANTHONY: Mr. Trump,
if you had a message for
Michael Forbes this afternoon.

No, I haven't got one.
What would it be?

I have no message.

I don't speak to him.

RICHARD: You quite enjoy it
and feel that, in the end,
you're sort of,

power and money
will win out.

No, I don't view it
as power and money.

I think that principle
will win out.

But my people made deals
with him, on two occasions.

My representatives have
absolutely made two deals
that he broke.

So he knows that.
His people know that,
whoever his people may be.

Nobody's complained
about it up till now, huh?

He passed us this morning

and just flew on in
his top-of-the-range
Range Rover

with blacked-out windows.

Oh, I missed getting a super
photo of him the first time
he was ever out here.

The wind got him on the
escarpment, and I thought the
press would have loved that.

Could have sold that picture
for a fortune. His hair was
sticking out like that.

You know, the whole lacquered
thing had come off,
with it all wound round.

And was out to a point.

Damn it.

This is my husband's hat

aboard this boat.

He was chief
petty officer on deck.

It's a bit dusty.

There he is.
Look, under the red umbrella.

Where he is just now,
which is just looking
slightly to the right,

is where he was hoping to
put in the club house.

And where he was
going to put it in,
it tends to flood,

because the water all
runs down off the land
into there, so...

Have difficulty putting
a club house there
unless it's on stilts.

MOLLY: My father,
he sang songs that
you never hear of today.

He used to sing a song,
"You'll never miss the water
till the well runs dry."

Which is a very
true saying, isn't it?

FORD: It really shouldn't
matter if the applicant is
Mother Teresa of Calcutta

and she wants to carry out
development in order to raise
money to help the sick,

or, indeed, even
if it's Donald Trump.

The permission isn't to
the person, it's to the land.

MC: And I'd now like to
welcome a representative from
the Green Party to the stage.

Local counselor, Martin Ford.

Thank you very much.

For those of you who don't
know, in Aberdeenshire,

we have a council
who gives Donald Trump
everything he asks for

and can't make up their minds
whether to throw people out

of their own homes
to help him.

Firstly, I think it's
important for people not from
the Northeast of Scotland

to have some sense
of the buildup.

In 2006, I think that was
the first official state visit
by Mr. Trump to Scotland.

MALE TV REPORTER: His plan
is for the Menie Estate at
Balmedie, near Aberdeen.

On it he will create
two golf courses,

a 450-bedroom hotel, and
housing, as well as holiday
apartments and golf villas.

An investment of
a billion pounds.

FEMALE TV REPORTER:
Multimillion-pound golf resort
in Aberdeenshire is rejected.

The chairman of a committee
of Aberdeenshire councilors
used his casting vote

after a three-hour meeting
was deadlocked.

All the parties had
committed themselves to
sustainable development.

And you could apply the tests
of sustainable development
to the Trump proposal,

and it failed them.

It failed them in spades.

FEMALE TV REPORTER: The Trump
Organization has now confirmed

it will now pull
out of Scotland

after a bitter
rejection at Balmedie.

We are very disappointed.

Ultimately, we can go
and develop the project
somewhere else.

We'll be fine.

I think it's the people of
Aberdeen and the shire

that were really let down
by their council today.

FORD: It was predicated
on long-distance tourism.

It was predicated on people
flying across the Atlantic to
play a few games of golf

and flying back
across the Atlantic.

It was predicated on
utilizing a irreplaceable

and diminishing resource of
effectively natural habitat.

FEMALE TV REPORTER: Mr. Trump
also reiterated his concern
about a proposal to

to build an offshore wind farm
close to his site.

TRUMP: When I look out
onto the ocean

from the 18th hole of
Trump International
Golf Links,

to be honest with you,

I want to see the ocean,
I don't want to see windmills.

Good evening. There is
renewed hope tonight

that American tycoon
Donald Trump's plans

for a one-billion-pounds golf
development in Aberdeenshire,

will go ahead.

In a dramatic twist,
the Scottish government
have called in

the controversial planning
application, taking it out of
Aberdeenshire council's hands.

Never before has an
application been called in,
in this manner.

FORD: By calling in
an application that had
already been refused,

it's inescapable that the
government has, in some way,
expressed a view that

it does not want the
application refused.

MALE TV REPORTER: Today,
almost two years on from

when he first announced
his proposals,

the Scottish government
have given the tycoon
the green light.

Well, I think the message
would be, I'm going to build
for the people of Scotland

the greatest golf course
anywhere in the world.
There'll be nothing like it.

And it's going to be done
environmentally perfect.

The Menie Estate is
in the constituency of
First Minister Alex Salmond.

The balance of opinion among
people in the Northeast of
Scotland among my constituents

is very strongly in favor.

And that's because we can
see the social and
economic benefits.

I mean, 6,000 jobs
across Scotland,

1,400 local and
permanent jobs here in the
Northeast of Scotland,

that's a very
powerful argument.

And I think that outweighs
the environmental concerns.

There's not many people
looking to invest
a billion pounds

in this local economy.

It's right in keeping with our
development strategy

that inward-bound tourism
is key for the city and shire.

That's what we're
here to support.

And in partnership with
Mr. Trump, I believe we can
do that together.

I thought it was the biggest
thing that had happened
in the Northeast

since oil was discovered.

No, No, CPO!

You will be the next to go!

FORD: Early in 2009,

Mr. Trump's legal people
approached the council
with suggestions

as to how they might justify
to councilors the use of
compulsory purchase.

FEMALE TV REPORTER: The Trump
Organization have asked the
council to consider using CPOs

and councilors decided
it was inappropriate

to reject the use of
compulsory purchase orders
without a full report.

All it does is leaves
a big cloud over our heads.
That's all it does.

Disappointment mixed with
fury, to be quite honest.

This is an action of people
with no conscience and
no willpower.

This is typical of the
sort of thing that we get.

Oh, it's very typical.
It's very typical for
councilors like yourself

to defer decisions that
are critical to
people's livelihoods.

And you've failed.
You've failed!

TRUMP JR: I'm thrilled
with the outcome.

They continue to diminish the
importance and nonsensical
motions put forth by Mr. Ford,

and hopefully this will be
the last few minutes
of his political career,

because I think he's
blown virtually everything
he's ever touched.

FORD: Since that time,
the residents at Menie,
in their own homes,

have been living with
the threat of possibility

that they would be
forced to leave them
against their will.

Just bang on the window.

Jesus, how do you do
business with someone
who doesn't have a door?

I look at his place,
and it's a pig sty.

Do I regret that?
No, I don't regret it,
it's a pig sty.

Turns out, actually we've got
a collection of remarkable,
principled people

who have recognized what's
right and what's wrong,

and have said they're
not standing for wrong.

Ben.

What we wanted to ask you

have you ever thought
about moving?

Eh, no. You see, the thing is,

I'm still working the place
myself. It's my living.

FORBES: All my relations
have been salmon fishing
all their lives.

My great-grandfather,
my grandfather, my father,
all my uncles,

were all salmon fishers.

And, it's just in
the blood, you know?
You just have to do it.

I was fourteen-and-a-half,
I went out to fish
for my uncle.

And I left school.

I worked with him
for a few years.
Then I went trawling.

Everybody knew everybody.
You know? All the salmon
fishers knew everybody.

It's great.

It was cotton nets back then.
They rotted quick so they
had to make a lot of nets.

These new ones, they're
made of plastic. Polythene.

They'll last a lot longer
and they're lighter.
You know?

So you needed a full crew
to work the old nets.

This boat, this size here,
you'd have needed
probably six men

to pull one of these nets up.
Now you can do it with two.

Well, I still am.
Still am fishing.

Haven't done it for these
last couple of years,

because I have a
bother with my back,

but I will get going
again next year.

I have to tow my boat
down to the beach.

It's not like here you come
out of a harbor. I have to
launch it off the beach.

And, well, I have
nets on the beach.

Stake nets, you know?

And I'll be towing
anchors through
his golf course as well,

because that's how we do it.

We just tow the anchors,
we don't lift 'em out
with trailers and things.

I'm looking forward to it.

A lot of local people
don't see Michael as a
particular problem.

They see him as someone
who is standing up for
what is rightfully his.

And they don't believe
all the clap-trap that

Trump's PR machine put out
about a hard-nosed farmer.

You know, he's standing
up for what's his.

Why shouldn't he?

Why wouldn't he?
You know?

This is actually zoned
for the housing.

On the crest of that hill,
between David Milne's
property there,

is going to be the
eight-story blocks of
time-share apartments.

My house, originally
a coastguard station,
built in 1954.

But there's been a
station here since
about 1860-something.

There's a row of five
cottages here to my right.

They are
coastguard cottages.

The occupants were originally
workers in the coastguard.

So, if when you
look at the drawings,

you see something that looks
like a crashed space shuttle,

that's the hotel,

and where my home is,
is meant to be a car park.

The buildings that you see
just a little farther over
there,

the other side of
the green field,

that's Mike Forbes' place.

Again, under threat of
compulsory purchase.

Down below here,
this white building,

that's the home of
the Munro family.

Again, under compulsory
purchase threat.

"No compulsory purchase,
no more Trump lies"
on the top of the postcard.

"The house down the road

"to the dunes, where once
you could roam free."

MUNRO: I've been here
a long time.
Near on three decades,

that's a long time.
Most of my adult life's
been spent in this house.

Brought my family up here.
Finlay was born here.

Here he is, here's Beth.
Hi Bets.

And then this man,
this foreigner comes in,

because he's got a few pounds,
they reckon, in his pocket,

a bit of a name,

and we're just cast aside,
we're in the way.

I think it's an awful
way to treat people.

That was just when we moved
here, I was expecting Finlay.

He was, as I say, born here.

As you can see,
the difference
from a few years...

This was taken in excess
of 25 years ago.

Me with the children,
and my mother,

paddling.
Oh, it was just glorious.

You realize what
you've got and what's
going to be taken away.

FOOTE: Are you going
to Cruden Bay?

Maybe I should take a cruise
up in the old Zodi.

Well, I'd just left
art college in 1974.

I moved to London,
and it's where I
continued my relationship

with, at that time,
John Mellor,

who most people know
as Joe Strummer.

Having extricated myself
from the music industry,

I chanced to meet Kim,
my partner.

It must have been worse
yesterday, 'cause the winds
were terrific yesterday.

It's a bit rough today,
isn't it?

So you're taking her
out of the water then?

I used to come up here
with my grandmother and
my aunt and my cousins,

on the bus from Aberdeen
in the mid '50s

with our bandy catchers
and play commandos
on those dunes.

It was a fantastic
open space within reach

of ordinary people
from Aberdeen.

And the only wild stretch

has been swallowed up
by this development.

Now that is primarily
which drives me

to say it shouldn't happen.

It's a real mosaic of
habitats, you've got
everything

from open sand to shrubs,
to trees to wetlands.

A greener Scotland is
effectively a myth

if something like this
is allowed to happen

and lots of areas are either
destroyed, moved around,
sanitized, disturbed,

and they'll be a few bits
left, scattered around,

as a kind of mitigation
of this development.

This very damaging
two golf course development,

and the whole package
is wrong.

Ah, welcome to our little
world, MacIntyre.

This is a bay in a million.

This harbor here is
a natural for blasting
in the underground tanks.

ANTHONY: Incredibly steep,
isn't it?

These sorts of models
give us vital clues

to understand the interaction
of waves on beaches,

the interactions of the beach
and the upper beach,

and then the availability of
sand to be brought into
sand dune systems,

such as we've got on the
Aberdeenshire coast.

HANSOM: In many what
we've got is a very,
very clear model

of sand moving in a
northerly direction.

Crystal clear. That is very
interesting from the point of
view of science

from the point of view
of understanding

how our landscapes
adjust to climate change.

HANSOM: It is the
only one left. And once
we've lost the only one left,

we're dealing with
essentially
artificial systems.

And the problem with
artificial systems,
of course,

is that because
we've meddled
with them in some way,

we don't actually know what
the forward track might be.

These are tees that are build
onto very steep sand dunes,

so they will have to be
built up artificially

by movement of sand
from elsewhere on the site.

Up to eight meters vertically
will have to be emplaced

and that will involve
moving biblical amounts
of sand from A to B.

So not only do
you lose the
natural dynamism

that this area is
noted for scientifically,

you will stabilize it,
so you'll lose
the dynamism,

but also you'll be
constructing
a largely artificial

sand dune environment.

TRUMP: Well, I've stabilized
the dunes, and that means the
dunes will be with us forever

and that's good, because dunes
can be gone with the wind,

I mean, dunes can move and
shift and sometimes they do,

but when you stabilize them
they're with you forever,

so, I've stabilized them

and ultimately I think that's
going to be a great factor
and a great thing

for Scotland and for Aberdeen.

These wilderness
environments are our
equivalent, if you like,

of the Amazon rainforest or
the swamps in South America.

And many of these wilderness
environments have been lost
around the world

and in Britain we've got very,
very few of those left.

And what's happening here is
that we're losing yet another.

We've had tremendous support
from the environmental groups

and, so I'm very
happy about that.

I mean, we've had great,
great environmental support.

I've received many
environmental awards
over the years.

I think the greatest thing
I've ever done for the
environment

is what I'll be doing right
here in Aberdeen,

but when we went to
our meetings we had
tremendous support

from major environmentalists
and environmental groups.

Is my hair okay?
It's blowing all over...

Have a look in the lens.

I can't see it.
Do you have a mirror?
Emily, give me a mirror.

HANSOM: There are no
environmental organizations
that I know of

that favor this development.

TRUMP: Who has a mirror?

HANSOM: RSPB opposed it,

SEPA, the Scottish
Environmental
Protection Agency,

Scottish Natural Heritage
were violently opposed
to this development,

World Wildlife Trust were
against the development,

and the Ramblers' Association
were against the development.

I know of no credible
environmental organization

that favored
such a development
on environmental terms.

This is an accolade site,
a site of special
scientific interest,

the highest conservation
accolade that
this country can bestow,

and yet we allow
a golf course
to be developed on it,

which will remove
the scientific interest
completely,

and it's something
of a personal tragedy

and great sadness across
the scientific community.

MUNRO: It is alarming.

Well, look at what security
did to me a long time ago,

came out of nowhere,
stopped my car,
hands on bonnet, and...

I got a scare.

They're saying
that's for the lorries,

that cars and pick-ups
and everything can
still use our road.

What, have we got a gap in
the trees already.

Well, those trees are
seemingly coming down, which
they shouldn't taking down.

I'll have to show it
to Mike Forbes.

That's where their spring is,
up in these trees.

We'll go down Mike's road
and we'll have a look.

I haven't been down Mike's
this week. Oh, God.

Lorry.

I don't think there's
anybody in, is there?

I do worry about the water.

Moira, David Milne's wife,

she had a dream that
she woke up one morning
and we were disappeared,

we were all under water.

I said, "Oh." She said,
"I looked out the window
and you were gone.

"All I could see was water."

She had a premonition. I said,
"Oh, don't say that, Moira."

Oh, Mike, you are gonna have
problems with your water.

Really horrified to see this
bank. I mean, what is it?

I think it's a road, and that
these trees are coming down.

This is absolutely horrendous.

That'll be the end
of the spring.

Who are you with?
ANTHONY: I'm freelance.

As are the rest of the press,
anyone who comes in here,

would have the...

Do you want to turn that off
or do you want to leave it on,
or...

I'll just leave it on, yeah.
MAN: Yeah?

I'm sure you're well aware,
we've had a lot of damage
here...

I was causing damage there?
No, no, no, I'm only just
putting in the picture.

ANTHONY: You know,
I'm just basically
over-looking from this bank.

There shouldn't be any health
or safety consideration,
should there?

No, no, no, there isn't.
But again, I would ask you,

to announce yourself
to the site.

It's the wish of the clients.

Or if you wish to film on
site, we have no issue with
it at all, you know,

there's no problem.

Sorry? I'm just freelance,
yeah.

Hi, there.

What you doing down here?
Just doing a bit of filming.

If you're freelance,
you film for yourself?

Yeah, just film for myself.

There's a lot of publicity
now about this area...

Yeah.

And a lot of this area
down here is now
classed as a work site.

Yeah.
So for health and safety
reasons you should really

be contacting the department.

This is Estate land.
Right. Yeah, but...

The access roads.
I thought in...

There's not a sort of
right to roam, is there
not in Scotland?

There is, but not
within vehicles.

But I wasn't in a vehicle
up there, I was standing...
But again...

Excuse me one second.
Could you switch
your camera off, please?

And of course you can't cut
across the dunes, now,

because they've
built this road.

That's the road they built.

They've laid those across
the natural drainage,

so they're trapping water
all over the place.

Look at that.

Yeah, this goes up and down
with the tide, all this lot.

Hello, how are you?
It's terrific, that water.

Yeah. They've virtually
dammed us and
they put in that road.

Mike's concern is where are
they going to pump it to?

Trees suck up water, that's
why the trees are planted.

Now they've taken
the trees away and
buried them in a hole.

Took them away and
buried them in a hole.

They dug a big hole
over the back here.

They took all the trees
and put them in the hole

and buried them.

According to my neighbor,
He says there was 400 trees
buried over there.

MUNRO: And as we go
around the corner, Anthony,

if you keep looking ahead,
you will see our little,

little forest here
has now disappeared.

I came home, and my son
said to me, "Oh, Mum,
all the trees have gone."

Oh, me.

The marram grass
being stripped into blocks,

taken away in huge dumpers.

And as you can see,
from the last time
we were here,

there's been vast
quantity of sand taken.

I just can't believe it.

Be interesting to see where
all this sand's coming from.

FORBES: That's the sand
dunes they're driving.

The sand dunes
from over there,
they're putting over here.

I didn't think they were
allowed to move them.

That should be on now. Yeah,
that's it. And then you just
press that, that button there.

Yeah. The one
on the right.
Yeah.

So I'm filming.
Always.

To come here every day,
you really get an idea of the
destruction that's happening.

Also notice there doesn't
seem to be anybody

coming down,
checking on anything.

There's no nobody.
Never see a...

The only person
you ever see is security,
keeping people away, really.

I look at Mr. Forbes and
his disgusting conditions
in which he lives

and that people
have to look at that

and it's about time that
somebody spoke out.

It's almost like,
in fact it is like,
a slum-like condition.

For people to have to
look at this virtual slum

is a disgrace.

Mr. Forbes is not a man
that people in Scotland
should be proud of.

Mr. Forbes is not a respected
man among the people
that he lives with.

I mean, people have come up to
us, they've written us notes,
they've written us letters,

that this guy is all sorts of
things. And I won't say it.

They're saying it.

Mr. Forbes lives in a pig-like
atmosphere, it's disgusting.

They are really lovely,
genuine, honest,
authentic people.

And they're really
sincere people.

And, yeah, absolute
pleasure to be involved
in a project with them.

FORBES: David McCue,
he's an artist,

and he got in touch with me

asking if it would be okay
if he did an art exhibition.

I said, "Yeah,
if you like, yeah."

So, we were going to do it
in a marquee tent out here,
but he wasn't for that.

He had to have it in that shed
there. Why, I don't know,

but he had to have it
in that shed.

The worst
shed I've got and he
had to have it in that.

I think we'll just stick
with that for just now.

And can we fit all four on?

MCCUE: Yeah, that one too?
Yeah.

MCCUE: I loved the barn,
because the minute
you started to change

and put things in there
it kind of re-contextualized
the work

in exactly the way
I hoped it would do.

Aye.
Bringing back everything
that I took away...

MCCUE: It was great meeting
Michael's wife, Sheila.

I says, "Dave, what the hell
do you think you're doing?"

MCCUE: She's really
feisty and has a
great sense of humor.

A great sense of who she is,
her own kind of identity.

Sheila chooses to sometimes
be out of the limelight,

but other times
I think it's important
to hear her voice too.

The drawing represents,
or is a metaphor for,

behind every successful man
there's a strong woman.

I really wanted to find for
myself what the truth was,

what was happening at that
site, like the security
presence for instance,

and that was really stressful
for Sheila and Michael,

and Molly as well. You know,
that's their homes, and it
would just be a vehicle

that would circle their land

and stop, pause,
and then move off again,

but it's intimidating and
I certainly felt like that
the week that I was there.

This one, for me,
was very much...

It's a very typical
Trump stance and pose

that he does very often and
it's almost like a trademark
the way he gestures

and his body language.

Obviously referenced
Warhol quite considerably
with the repeat pattern

of the dollar sign
that's like a brick wall.

You've hit a brick wall,
dead-end kind of scenario.

The media has been coming
down to this place,

has been talking
about it as a slum,
which it certainly isn't,

and to be able to sort
of show off the interior

of that barn which
we've always just
seen the exterior of,

and get a real glimpse
into history,
the heritage of this space,

a glimpse out of the back
square that looks onto all of
the other properties

which are in a similar
position of maybe coming under
a compulsory purchase,

it was just...it was perfect.

Twenty thumbs up
on me hobby.

It's in grossly bad taste,
which of course is spot on.

I'll need a hockey stick,
a baseball bat.

MCCUE: I really wanted
an interactive piece,
that was quite important,

that they weren't just
passively, you know,
looking at pieces of work.

I'd seen some of them in a
computer, David's computer,

but they don't look
the same in the computer.

FORD: Once again,
there's a very
pleasant atmosphere,

and whilst this is
a very serious business,

it's great to see
members of the community
coming together like this

in support of
the local residents.

MICHAEL: My father was a
salmon fisher.
WOMAN: What's that?

MICHAEL: When I was born.
I was born in this bay
on the beach here.

WOMAN: Uh-huh.

And then we moved to...
Inland a wee bit.

Couple of mile
inland to Fintray.

And then he got
a job in Cullen.
Uh-huh.

So we moved into Aberdeen.
And it was Aberdeen
I lived till 14 and a half,

and I had enough of that,
Aberdeen. I come up here
and worked with my uncle,

when I left school.

I can't get near it
for the kids.

But they're cheating though,
they're throwing it
down his throat.

The Trump paintings,
the accent's very much
on the red, the anger.

Whereas Michael's
very much the cool blue
and the relaxed greens

and reflect the diversity
of where they come from
and what they mean,

and what their
intentions are,
you know.

I think these intentions
are very angry,

very self-motivated,

very self-interested.

They way they display
their wealth and
their attitude, you know,

it is very much a contrast
with what goes on here.

But you would expect that.
I mean, he's an
international figure

and Michael's
a very local figure,
he's very much appreciated by

his local friends and
people who know him.

MUNRO: A lot of
local people here.

Certainly a lot more
down to life, you know?

I think in living in
the real world, you know?

And it just shows you,

you know, the support
we have round about.

WOMAN: Absolute bias
in the favor of Trump.
MICHAEL: Aye, aye.

WOMAN: And rude,
and he's negative...
That's right.

Aye.
...destructive
comments about you.

And it's very personal,
isn't it?
I know, I know.

MAN: Flying about is a
most extravagant thing,

and building a property
and golf development here
to attract American golfers

is just contrary to
environmental way of life

that we will have to lead.

As a personal gift
to Michael and Sheila,

it feels important for me
to give something to them

for all the help
that they've given me.

Like all my paintings,
I find it very difficult
to talk about

while it's
in its early stages.

It's going to be
an image of Michael on
a salmon fishing boat.

MOLLY: It was a Saturday.

Michael was washing
the Land Rover

and he also washed
Sheila's car.

And then the hose went to
a trickle, and he says,

"Oh, my water's surely off."

So, he came over
and said to me,

"Be canny with your water.
Because I think
it's going off."

See that line of trees?
Well, just as this end here,

that's where my well is.
Well, it's a spring-cum-well.

As you can see, the lorry is
going around there just now.

They built the road
on top of my spring.

Well, I think my water's
more important than
his bloody road just now,

but not to them.

I phoned up. They keep saying
they're going to fix it.
I'm still waiting.

You'd think it'd
be a priority.

See, it's...
No water. Dry.

ANTHONY: How long has
that been going on for?

That's since last Saturday.

They were digging
up there on Friday.

And Hughson from down
the road, he went up and
complained there was no water.

They said they would
get it fixed right away.

It's a week now I've been
waiting and they still
haven't done it.

I got the police down
and they won't have
nothing to do with it either.

Be different if it was
the other way around, like.

If it was me cut off their
water, I would have been
charged by now.

I'm really pissed off.
I'm running out of
clean clothes.

Dishes is piling up.
You need water.

I've been taken water out
of the burn to have
a wash in the morning.

It's not right.

MOLLY: I needed water
for the hens,

because they drink
a lot of water,

my plants outside,
and my two greenhouses.

So I took the barrow
and our,

we call them a rouser,
the watering can,

and a piece of rope
tied to a paint pot

and I dipped in the
paint pot in the burn

and filled the rouser

and just rolled the
barrow back up again.

And then Michael said,

"There's aye a wee drop
coming from the hose."

His hose.
"So you'll get
some for drinking."

It's dry.

This is just another ploy,
as I said, with Trump,
to piss people off. You know?

It's just... It's not on.

I'm really pissed off,
as well, that the police's
all one-sided.

This say as they're
not biased,
of course they are.

Yeah.

No, I'm just trying
to work out the facts,
basically.

Not an angle. No.

It's not an angle.
I'm just trying to
work out why...

If Michael has been
without water for a week...

Rather than the two
of us discuss this...
Yeah, no, why...

ANTHONY: What are we
looking at over here, then?

Quite a mess, now.
We seem to have inherited
a new lake here.

Um, Mr. Trump,
I don't know
what he's doing,

but he's scraped all this...
Oh, here's the police now.

Mmm-hmm. You got a
photo of them?

FORBES: Next thing was the
security van comes sneaking
around the corner there

and told the police
you were over there
with Suzie Munro.

And then they just
took off up the road.

And before they went away
I says to them, I says, "Who
are you away to charge now?"

And they says "We don't
charge anybody, we're the
good guys."

With all due respect, sir,
would you mind turning the
camera off?

ANTHONY: What's it about?

I bet they've been on
the phone about this,
your visit there.

It's absolutely sickening.

Absolutely sickening.
This is what it'll
have been about.

Tell ya, I hope they get
onto Environmental Health
today

because having no water
for a week and no toilets,

no facilities is
an absolute disgrace.

They've removed all the
topsoil off the ground,

I mean this is almost like
a floodplain. As you can see,

with the bulrushes and
everything, it's just
marshground.

And of course common sense
would tell you that the water

you know,
flows down to the sea.

Common sense would
tell anybody that.

So that's gonna
have to be rectified.

Because I see it.

I think environmental health
is the next protocol for them.

But we'll just have to wait
and see what transpires today.

Who's in charge
between the two
of you gentlemen?

RICHARD: We're just
here as individuals.

What are you here for?

That's no problem. Um...

Could I take note
of your name, please?

RICHARD: Why?

Because there's been
an alleged breach of the peace

up at the Menie Estate
this morning.

And?
Oh, my God.

And, as such,
we're making inquiries,

so could I have
your name, please?

My name's Richard Finlay.

Okay. And yourself, sir?
Could I have
your name, please?

Yeah, I'm Anthony Baxter.

MUNRO: And then he just became
more hostile and more hostile,
and lunged at you.

Gave you no explanation.

What we need
to do know, though...
No, you do not.

You have been detained
under Section 14
of Criminal Procedures,

Scotland Act 1995.

MUNRO: What's he done?
ANTHONY: Could you
grab that for me?

Just get that.
Richard, grab the film.

RICHARD: Excuse me.
OFFICER: Let go of the camera.

Let go of the camera.
Let go of the camera
before it gets damaged, sir.

OFFICER: Let go
of the camera, sir.

MUNRO: And then
the next thing I know,

you're wrestling over
the bonnet of Finlay's van.

This policeman attacking you.
Trying to pull
the camera off you.

Still not giving you
any reason why,
what you've done.

I think it was totally
out of order.

ANTHONY: ...do that to me!

OFFICER: Right, sir...

MUNRO: Then slammed
the handcuffs on and I saw
your wrist was grazed

and everything,
and that was
totally out of order.

MUNRO: That's disgraceful!

ANTHONY: Will you loosen
those cuffs, please?
OFFICER: Stop.

Have you...
ANTHONY: Will you
loosen those cuffs, please?

They're hurting me.
MUNRO: This is a very
sad state of affairs.

ANTHONY: You're
hurting my arm.
Sir, if you stop shouting...

ANTHONY: Look will you
stop doing that to me!

ANTHONY: It's 8:30
in the evening, um...

I just got back
to my car after being
in the police cells

for four hours.

We also had our camera
confiscated and our
footage confiscated

by the police.

MOLLY: I think it was Susan
that said, you know...

And I was
quite upset about it.

I thought, "Oh, gosh.
A nice lad like Anthony.

"Being taken into jail?"

God! I couldn't sleep.

About it, you know?

I thought,
"God, who'd like
these Trump people?"

They're horrors.

Aye, "Two men charged
over 'filming' at Trump."

I'm sick of seeing this.

"Golf will put Northeast
on tourism map."

I don't know what
he's wanting to hide here,

but this, keeping people
away off this huge
swath of land's not right.

And then there's that
hostile attack on Anthony
for no reason.

The police
wouldn't give any reason.

Mmm-hmm.
The mess he's making.

Well, there's something,
I mean, this is...

I've never seen
anything like this anywhere.

ANTHONY: Does it feel to you
that the police are somehow
working on behalf of Trump?

Oh, definitely.
Definitely.

Michael called them
to the water.

And they just couldn't
care less.

It's against the law
to cut off anybody's water.

And if they had damaged it,
though, suppose it was
an accident,

they should have been
supplying them with water!

There and then, you know?

Oh, aye.

NEWSREADER: On his
hit show The Apprentice,

Donald Trump's word
trumps all.

And it appears that power
extends to his business
venture in Scotland.

At least for now.

Recently, two British
journalists found
themselves arrested

at the site of Mr. Trump's
golf resort near Aberdeen...

You have been detained
under Section 14
of Criminal Procedures...

That's quite incredible.
That is just...
That's bullying harassment.

It really is shocking.
It's an assault,

on journalists trying
to do their job.
It's completely out of order.

Certainly people
around the world
have been taken aback

that this type of thing
could happen.

Um, where journalists
were actually arrested,
violently arrested,

handcuffed,
taken to the cells,

having been fingerprinted,
DNA tests and having their
equipment taken off them,

kept in the cells...

No, I haven't.
I've never seen
it like this.

I know people have been
done for contempt of court
for covering court cases

and refusing to expose
the sources.

But this was just an
interference in journalists
trying to film

what really is
a public interest story.

To me, they seem to just get
away with anything they want.

I mean, they cut off
the water, what will they
try next, cut off electric?

They'll knock down a pole
or something, you know?

Oh, aye.

MC: From New York,
the greatest city
in the world.

It's th Late Show
with David Letterman.

Tonight, Donald Trump...

Now this is the guy,
this is the classic story.

Donald Trump,
big American comes,

wants to buy up his
ranch or his farm and
he says, "Nope!"

So is he going to sell
or is he not going to sell?

I don't know, I don't need it.
It's not in the way
of what I'm doing.

It's on the outskirts of what
I'm doing. If I buy it that'll
be fine. But nothing I need.

They're using me as an excuse
not to build the hotel.

They're saying "Oh, it's an
eye-sore, a pigsty," or
whatever they want to call it.

But it's a working place.
There's going to be stuff
lying about.

I don't throw nothing out.
Because you never know
when it's going to be handy.

And I'm bloody sure
no other farmer would
throw anything out either.

FORBES: I was sitting in here
I was on the computer,

I was looking for
parts for my tractors.

And Mickey Foote phoned
in the afternoon and says,

"Do you know there's
diggers on your land?"

So I had a look out and I
saw the diggers working away.

So I didn't tell anyone what
I thought was going on,
just in case they got excited.

MOLLY: I was disgusted
and felt ill about it.

I mean, all that happening
on Michael's land.

That they wanted to buy?

FORBES: I took my
title deed with me.

And I says, "You better
just put everything back
where you got it."

And there was two policemen
there so I shouted and said,
"Who's the boss here?"

MOLLY: They didn't
do anything about it.

They were guarding them,
pulling out the poles

and putting up fences.

FORBES: And I tried to
show them on the
title deeds what was mine

and they weren't interested.

They said, "We are just down
here to make sure there's no
damage caused."

Bloody damages?
They were ripping up my place.

This is the one I used
to use with my father.
I see they busted it all.

And that was the police that
was supposed to be watching it
so there's no damage done.

It looks really
respectful, eh?
They busted it all.

They've surely phoned the
security, here they come now.

They've got a road made now.

That's my land there.

Not now. That belongs
to them now.

Now, I've seen enough of this.

This here is the original
Menie salmon fishing plans.

And as you can see here,
in black and white...

This is the land here
for Menie salmon fishers.

But they are saying in
the papers today that
their plan supersedes my plan.

This here is Trump's plan

of the same area as here.

And with this corner cut off.

Andy Whiteman.
Mike Forbes.

Good to see you.
Good to see you.

What a bizarre goings-on.
I'm glad you can
laugh about it sometimes.

Well, you have to.
You have to.
Aye. Oh, aye.

WHITEMAN: If you have a
dispute with your neighbor
about whose land is whose,

you seek to resolve it
amicably and ultimately
you would go to the courts.

You don't grab it.
You don't nakedly grab it.

That's what they did
in the past.

If everyone was to do that,
it would be a state of strife
across the country.

And the other thing is that
maps at that time are not as
accurate as maps are today.

So I thought, maybe Trump's
arguing about a few meters
here and all the rest of it.

But the fact there is a map.
The fact that it's colored.

The boundaries
are shown clearly.

I mean, a lot of land's
sold with no maps.
Yeah.

The police are correct in that
where your boundary is not
a matter for the police.

It's not a criminal matter.
They shouldn't
be here.

They shouldn't even
have been here.

And the fact that Trump
has got a dispute here,
thinks he owns this land...

It's a civil matter.

Before all this happened,
they put on a line of flags.

Little red flags
with pieces of wire.

And they put them in here.
I removed them all.

And I was charged with theft.

FORBES: There was all these
little bloody red flags
all over the place.

And they were a danger because
my grandsons play there and
there were sharp wires.

Twenty-seven I pulled
out of my land.

Twenty-seven of these
bloody things.

Is that charge still...
The prosecutor physical,

sent a letter back
saying they've dropped it,

but if I do anything
like that again,

I will be severely dealt with.
So, I'm guilty.

I'm guilty and I would have
preferred if it went to court.

To me, that suggests double
standards. And very,
very political policing.

ANTHONY: Have you ever
come across a case like this?

No. No. No.
This is unprecedented.

That's a bit stupid
isn't it?

They've left an
access there, look.

Where does it go?
Nowhere.

How can he say that's
better than nature?

Boy, the man lives
in cuckoo land.

ANTHONY:
That flag stands for...

Freedom, and for
a country that you
are passionate about...

Presumably.
Used to be.
I used to be.

Until Salmond gave him
the right to destroy
the bloody lakes.

I voted for SNP
for 35 years.

I'll never vote
for them again. Never.

They've done
this country wrong.

They're giving it away
to the Americans.

MALE REPORTER: American
tycoon Donald Trump has
jetted into Aberdeen,

ahead of receiving an honorary
degree from the city's
Robert Gordon University.

REPORTER 2: This afternoon,
the "Tripping up Trump"
campaign handed in a

six and a half thousand
signature petition against
the university's decision.

It's really quite sad to see
what he's doing. I thought it
was going to be done with a

little tweak here and there
but it's not. It's just been
flattened.

Especially right beside us
and he's just moving south.

Awful that our country
has let him take
our SSI and not...

And I'm sure he's having
a quick smile to himself,
you know?

MUNRO: They swarm around
here like flies.

Whenever he's here,
and I mean,
it's just a joke.

I also think it's just
so false, you know?

All these people are arriving
suited and booted and...

"Yes, Mr. Trump.
No, Mr. Trump."

What has he done here
to deserve this,

but to destroy a site of
special scientific interest
and a beautiful dune system?

TRUMP: The people love
what we're doing.

They love that I'm
spending hundreds of millions
of pounds on doing it.

They love the fact that
I'm creating a lot of jobs

Mr. Trump doesn't
appreciate just how much
the system moves.

None of these things
will ever come back

because the conditions
would be totally changed.

And all these chemicals
on the greens and...

Oh, me. You just
wonder where it's
going to end with this.

MUNRO: The last time he was
here he made quite a...

Rather sour comment
about myself,
and Finlay and the dog.

"Demonstrators."
And I thought, "I'm not a
demonstrator, I live here."

This one was from the students
and any gift from the students
I always valued.

Because I thought that
was what my work was about.

From the moment I decided
that I was going to hand my
honorary degree back

my thoughts were all
about how I could get
the maximum publicity

because I knew that
simply handing it back
in a private manner

it would simply be
put away and that
would be the end of it.

How difficult is it for you
to return this degree?

It's not difficult at all.
I'm going to march in that
that door and ask

whether the principal is
available. If he isn't, it
will be given into the desk.

And that will be it.
Because somebody's got to
stand up to these people

and make sure that the world
knows, there are people who
don't approve of this.

I don't approve of bullying.
I don't approve of bullying
people on the Menie Estate.

That is my honorary degree
certificate. "Not Wanted."

"Not wanted."

MILNE: For someone in
such a significant
and serious position,

to take what is very
obviously a very personal
and determined stance,

is a very positive
thing for us.

We are here in pure support of
Dr. Kennedy and his position.

Donald Trump has said,
he thinks you cannot
be too greedy.

He believes that you should
be brutal and powerful.

He believes that sacking
people is not a bad thing.

He boasts about the number
of people he's sacked.

These are not the sort of
qualities I would expect

of a man who is to receive
an honorary degree.

He feels very strongly.

And I think under those
circumstances it isn't a
difficult decision to make.

REPORTER: David,
what happened inside?

Well, Professor Harper
wasn't available.

And so I saw one of the
vice-principals.

But of course she's following
the party line that

Mr. Trump is a very
successful entrepreneur.

He's a billionaire
and of course that
tells you everything.

MAN ON RADIO:
"They're making a mockery
of the system."

The words of
Dr. David Kennedy.

Who's handed back his
honorary degree to
Robert Gordon University.

And he has this message
for the tycoon.

KENNEDY: Don't trample
on your neighbors.

Don't destroy the
environment of Aberdeen.

And this is part of
the jewels of Scotland
that is being destroyed.

My view is take your money
elsewhere, we don't want it.

It's a positive paper,
but it's letting people
know the truth.

We feel that people
just don't know the
realities of this development

and if they did know,
they'd think twice.

There's some people in
Aberdeen that really want
this development to go ahead,

powerful people and they're
not letting the word out on
what's going on.

Have you been out
at Menie House?
I have. A lot.

And have you seen some of
the ram-shackle dumps that
are around there?

If you're referring to
Michael Forbes', sir...

I'm not referring to anything
specific, I'm talking in
general terms.

Have you seen it?
I've been to many, yes.

Here's the point. You take in
wealthy people from all over
the world, flying in,

and the plane there,
and they're looking at houses
that are in bad condition,

with ram-shackle tractors
and old farm implements
lying over there.

Do you think that does any
good to the vision of Scotland
throughout the world?

NEWS ANCHOR: American
billionaire, Donald Trump,
defied his critics

to pick up an honorary
degree from Aberdeen's
Robert Gordon University.

He's pledged to build the
world's greatest golf course

on the Menie Estate in
Aberdeenshire.

MALE REPORTER: Today,
Aberdeen's Robert Gordon
University recognized

U.S. tycoon, Donald Trump's,
ability to make money.

Now a Doctor of Business
Administration...

PHOTOGRAPHER: A nice,
casual shot against the
railing would be quite nice.

PHOTOGRAPHER: Can we get your
frown again, Mr. Trump?

Thank you very much.

Hello, everybody.

REPORTER: Is the course
on schedule?

Yeah, the course is
in perfect schedule.

In fact, if anything,
it's ahead of schedule.

And I am very happy to report
that, everything we've done,

I think it's even coming out
better than we had anticipated
in our wildest dreams.

It's going to be
really spectacular.

There doesn't seem to be
people against the job.

The only one I see is this
gentlemen right here,
who I've never seen before

until yesterday when he
started screaming.
Question?

Real journalists,
I want real journalists.

Mr. Trump, I wonder what you'd
say to Dr. David Kennedy.

He handed back his degree
last week and said that
your honor was an insult

to decent people everywhere,
and also accused you of

bullying people
on the Menie Estate.
I myself have been

arrested, handcuffed,
and put in a prison cell
for four hours

whilst interviewing your
representative, Mr. Paul
O'Connor on the site.

I just wondered whether you
felt that was the right way to
treat people, and whether

in fact, you had
anything to hide.

I never heard of Mr. Kennedy.
I don't know who he is, so,
I can't really refer.

I mean, you're asking me
about a person that
I've never heard of.

Dr. David Kennedy,
the former principal of...

I've never heard of him.
I'm sorry.

This is a very popular job.

It's only questions like you
ask that cause trouble.

Any other questions?

Yes, Mr. Trump,
I just wondered

if you could tell us
how many local people are...

WOMAN: One question
per journalist.

...how many local people
are employed on the site.

A lot. We have a lot
of local people employed.

ANTHONY: Can you
give us a number?
We're just beginning.

I don't have numbers.
We're just beginning,
but a lot of people,

and there will be
more and more.

We've had hundreds
of people doing the marram,

and now we're ready to start
the marram grass again.
That's a very big project.

But we've got a lot of local
people employed on this site.

But it is an Irish contractor?

MILNE: So I'm going to go
and phone the police shortly
and let them know.

Take it from there.
I've also spoken
to the lawyer.

I'm phoning in connection with
an incident number you
already have on your books.

Incident 56
of the 18th of October.
In other words, yesterday.

Well it was regarding,
we expected some persons
to come onto our land

yesterday and cut down
and remove a fence.

That didn't happen.

However, they have come on
today and cut down
and removed that fence.

This is the letter that we
received. They're saying
that I have a fence

and part of a shed or other
building erected on land
belonging to them.

They're saying that they now
intend to remove the fence.

You'll notice I'm not
given the option
to remove it myself.

And that they may, if they
choose, put the fence
back up on their drawing.

As far as the shed goes,
they're giving me 72 hours,

or they're going to raise an
action in the Sheriff Court,
to have it removed.

If you take the double garage
that is sitting here, okay?

I have a stick shed
that sits here.

There's an old brick shed
from the coastguard days
sits there.

And the house actually
sits in about here.

Out here there is a pole for
the overhead electricity line.

They are claiming at the
moment that this boundary
actually

runs something like that.

And here, they're trying to
take the back wall off my
garage.

TRUMP: We've been very nice.
We've tried to be very nice.

We actually just learned that
one of them may have built
their house on our land.

We learned that last night
when we were doing a survey.

One of the people actually
have a big chunk of
their house on our land.

So we're having that
checked out.

You'll find out.

MILNE: I've come home today,
I see that the fence
is missing.

That's a police car that was
in here this morning.

Which makes it eight, nine,
10 o'clock this morning
or there by.

So it'll be interesting to see
what time the fence actually
came down.

They hit the power line
yesterday.

240 volt supply to my house.

MUNRO: Mr. Trump's
workmen severed
the line with the digger.

They popped the line,
and of course,
everything shorted,

and it cut everybody off.

It's workin' away.
Quite the thing.
There you go.

Power went out.

Not only is it, in my opinion,
criminal damage or vandalism,

but now they've also
committed theft by
removing it from my land.

Which, if you care
to remember,

is precisely what they
charged Michael Forbes with

when he removed marker
poles from the site.

The fence that they put up
without my permission.

"The attached invoice is now
due. Please arrange payment
for half of this invoice,

"£2,820, to be made
payable to Trump International
Golf Links Scotland."

I get out of my bed
this morning.

The whole house shaking,
things falling
off Finlay's shelf.

But this is getting
bigger by the day.
It's incredibly high now.

ANTHONY: Did you ask
the builders what they
were doing with this?

MUNRO: Finlay did.
What did they say?

It's Mr. Trump's
instructions.

Mr. Trump's instructions?
Yeah.

To put all this earth here?
Yeah, to block our view.
To harass us.

Obviously. There ain't
no bank on the plans,
anything like that.

I don't know what to do.

It's rather meaningless.

It took them maybe a week
or 10 days to actually
construct, so...

That's quite a lot of work
involved. There's a lot of
time involved.

There's a lot of effort
involved for no real
purpose.

Get it done,
and don't spend a lot.

It's all on Donald J. Trump's
Fabulous World of Golf.

TRUMP: Sarah, I want to
get rid of that house.

Who cares?
You know what?
Who cares?

It's our property,
we can do what we want.

We're trying to build
the greatest course
in the world.

This house is ugly.

TRUMP: There are some houses

quite far away from the
course, but nevertheless,
they are in view.

But we are berming some of
the area so that you don't
see the houses.

I don't want to
see the houses.

And nobody has a problem with
it. I guess maybe the people
who live in the houses have...

There's a great big pond
here now the more muck
they're scrapin'

the water's all bubblin' up.

I was just waiting for that.
ANTHONY: The water?

Yeah, water table.
They've hit it.

It's supposed to be
a putting green.

Well, I could cope...
Well, I suppose you'd have to
cope with a putting green.

Not that I'd like balls
flying in my garden, but...

They've come today,
"We're making a car park."

"No, you're not.
It's not on your plans."

That big mound in front of us,
that shouldn't be done.
Not in the plans.

Because they're just
the dunes there, Kim,

the bit we used to walk
over onto the beach.

I took photos
on Anthony's camera.

I mean, we got a shock.
We just stood
and looked around.

Totally flat,
sand everywhere,
everything gone.

LETTERMAN: I'm imagining
how beautiful it must be,

these dunes on the beautiful
coast of Scotland.

The west coast of Scotland?
TRUMP: Well, yes,
more or less.

And uh... What do you mean,
"more or less?"

It's such a big area,
it covers a lot of territory.

It is beautiful, but I'll
make it more beautiful.

When I finish, it will
be far more beautiful.
LETTERMAN: Really?

TRUMP: Yup, that's right.

MAN: I'm not fond
of Donald Trump,

and I wouldn't want to
come all this way to
go play a new course

nor one of his facility
courses, so I'm not sure

that it's gonna be a very
successful operation.

You know, he is pretty gaudy.
That is the way he does
things, you know.

He's a New Yorker, and uh...

So, I'm sure it will be
a spectacular course.

I'm not sure it will fit in
with the traditions, though.

ANTHONY: He says it's going
to be the best in the world.

Well Donald would say that,
wouldn't he, you know?

Trump will price it most
likely outside of my range.

CHESHIRE: Of course there will
be some local workers.

The question is
what proportion of
workers will be local?

And there I think that the
estimates that are made
in the economic impact study

are wildly optimistic.

I mean, if I was Irish,
I'd be delighted if Irish
workers were being employed.

If I were Polish, I'd be
delighted that Polish workers
were being employed.

But they're not going to be
creating jobs in the local
economy.

And indeed,
migrant workers tend to
remit a lot of their wages

back to where they come from.
So they won't even be spending
within the local economy.

If a British developer
came along,
saying that they wanted

to build 500 houses and
and a 450 bed hotel,

on an area of wild beauty,

remote from any large city,

which was gointg to
destroy what is the
most highly protected

type of site we have,
a site of special
scientific interest,

which was by all accounts,
a unique type of site,

um, they would be
laughed out of court.

Think of Mr. Trump
as a poker player.

And he's got a hand,
but he's also bluffing
the local authorities

and Scottish government to
give him planning permission.

That planning permission
is immensely,
immensely valuable.

Thousands of millions
of pounds, probably,

just to get the
planning permission.

So his job is to persuade
people that there's huge
economic benefits.

That's his job.

But we should be
critically cautious
in accepting numbers

which come from the
Trump camp.

ANTHONY: And from what
you've seen of these numbers,

do you think there has
been enough caution?

No, I don't think there's
been enough caution in

critically interpreting
those numbers.

It's not surprising that
sort of, city fathers
might be deceived

by a glamorous, international
superstar like Donald Trump.

I do find it more
surprising that the
Scottish government,

who I thought was quite canny,
has fallen for it
in the way they have.

This is the pond
where all the ducks were.

I don't know what they've
done, but they've now,
as you can see,

got this fenced off
with this orange netting.

FORD: Horrifying, of course,
to see the sand just piled up

like that willy-nilly.
This was a pristine and
fantastic dune system.

Now, parts of it are in the
process of being wrecked.

And that's very sad.

As things stand at the moment,

much of the rest of it is
going to be wrecked as well.

Oh, fine, fine.
WOMAN: Are you?

This is good.
This is great, this.

My name's Michael,
I'm up from Glasgow today.

I'm just here to offer
you some support.
Excellent. Thank you.

Good luck.

Hi, how are you doing?

A fine day for it.
Show a bit of support.
Thank you very much.

MAN: Come and join us!

KENNEDY: It's good to see
that there's so many
young people here,

supporting justice.
And I'm one with them.

I agree completely.
And I find it very,
very pleasing

to see so many people
turning out today
in order to support

the people who are being
victimized by Donald Trump,

and his profit-making ways.

I'm very proud.
It gives you a boost.
It really gives you a boost.

You know, when you're down
in the mouth about what's
going on here,

but then you get all these
people supporting you,
it's really good.

Yeah, I'm really proud.

ANTHONY: What kind
of things have
they been saying?

Oh, just to keep up the fight.
It's always the same

every time. To keep up the
fight. I'm doing my best.

We're going up to the church
hall to have a cup of tea.

(SINGING ALTERED VERSION
OF THIS LAND IS OUR LA ) D

BARMAN: May I help
you gentlemen?

Yes, I'd like to
use the telephone.
Is there on in the hotel?

There's a phone box just over
there by the jetty.
You'll need some change.

You can talk to anywhere
in the world from there.

Could you change this for me,
please? Tens, the lot.

Well now, I don't think
we'll manage that.

You got any tens, lads?

The gentlemen here would like
to make a very important
long-distance phone call.

Intercontinental!
Come on, give me your tens!

Trump Organization,
what can I do for you?

Oh, hello there. Yes,
I was wondering if I could
speak to Donald Trump, please.

I'm calling from Scotland,
just recording this call,
my name is Anthony Baxter.

Okay, what was it regarding?

Yes, I'm making
a documentary about the

Trump Golf Course development
north of Aberdeen
and just wondered whether

I could speak to him about it.

I can give you
the email address...

Yeah, I did email Rhona a few
times actually last year...

And you have the correct
email address?

I think so, because
she returned
the email saying that

he was too busy to
do an interview
at the time,

so I just thought
I'd touch base.

You can send one again
if you like.
Right, I did do that,

and then I didn't hear
anything back.

I don't mind waiting
for the meeting to finish,

it's just that
I've only got
so many 50p's here.

And I can't just speak
to Mr. Trump's PA?

Hold on a moment.
Okay.

Okay, hold on.

Okay, thanks.

Hello?
Hello.

Okay, sir, I'm sorry,
but that's the only
possibility to email Rhona.

I'm sorry, sir, I have
to take other calls.

I have to say they're
all excellent pictures,
they really are very good.

I love the idea of
basing them on
well-known works of art.

They was quite tired
by the time I did
get them all together.

And I was as
tired as well.

FORD: I think I like
Michael and Sheila best.

It's very close
to the painting
on which it's based.

And I'm also wondering what
Michael's contempl ating
doing with that fork.
