Donald Trump Launches Wind Farm Challenge
American businessman Donald Trump is challenging a planned offshore wind farm, at the UK's Supreme Court.
It is understood the property tycoon is opposing the Scottish Government's decision to grant planning permission for the 11-turbine development in Aberdeen Bay two years ago.
The renewable energy project would be located within 3.5km of his multi-million pound golf development on the Menie Estate.
The Supreme Court judges are expected to deliver their verdict later.
