BILLIONAIRE Donald Trump has lost his legal challenge to an offshore wind farm which he claims is ruining his exclusive golf resort in the north of Scotland.
The 68-year-old businessman wanted judges at the Court of Session to judicially review the Scottish Ministers decision to allow the Aberdeen Bay development to go ahead.
Lawyers for the property developer argued that the government’s decision was illegal.
But on Friday, Scotland’s most senior judge, Lord Gill, ruled that an earlier decision made by his colleague Lord Doherty to not grant the judicial review was legal.

DONALD Trump’s Scottish golf courses lost more than £2 million last year, new figures have revealed.
Accounts for the tycoon’s resorts at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire and Turnberry in Ayrshire show they both made losses.
The US presidential candidate opened the Trump International Golf Links in 2012 following a battle with environmental campaigners opposed to the construction of a course on protected sand dunes.
He hailed the course as the greatest in the world and pledged to create 800 jobs at the resort.
However, company accounts just published for 2014 show that it lost money for the third year in a row since Trump struck the first ball at the course.
It made a loss of £1,139,513 last year compared to losses of £1.8 million in 2013 and £1.7 million in 2012.
The course, which is valued at £30 million, increased its turnover to £2.8 million during the year - a jump of £500,000 from the previous 12 months.
The business employed just 95 people during its third year of operations who were paid a total of £1.9 million.
So what happened to the "economic boom" and "thousands", no "hundreds" of jobs created by his course:

Donald Trump last night instructed his lawyers to take his fight against an offshore windfarm to the European Court of Justice.
The Supreme Court in London – the highest court in the land – yesterday announced it had rejected the US businessman’s appeal against the Scottish Government’s approval of the 11-turbine project at Aberdeen Bay.
Vattenfall and Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG), partners of Aberdeen Offshore Wind Farm Ltd (AOWFL), welcomed the decision and reaffirmed their commitment to the project – with campaigners also hailing the victory for renewable energy.

George Sorial, the company’s executive vice president, said the outcome demonstrated the “foolish, small-minded and parochial mentality” dominating the SNP Government’s “dangerous experiment with wind energy”.
He also warned the £230million European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) would cast a “terrible shadow” upon the future of tourism in the north-east.
And last night he revealed the Trump Organisation’s lawyers had been instructed to proceed with a legal challenge to the European courts.
Looks like Trump may want his day in the European Court as well.
