Sir Sean Connery helped secure consent for Donald Trump’s first golf course in Aberdeenshire, Donald Trump has claimed.
The US president attributed the approval of the course at the Menie estate to an intervention from the late James Bond actor.
During his speech at the ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday, Mr Trump said: ‘This has been an unbelievable development.
‘The land, they said it couldn’t get zoned, it was an impossibility, and Sean Connery said “let the bloody bloke build his golf course”.
‘Once he said that everything came into line. John (Swinney) and I were talking about that last night.’
