Former US President Donald Trump will open a second golf course at his Scotland resort in summer 2025, which previously prompted controversy and led to local sand dunes losing their nationally-important protected environment status.

The new 18-hole links course at the Trump International resort in Aberdeenshire, east Scotland, will be called the MacLeod Course, the maiden name of his mother Mary, who was born on the island of Lewis.

The course will feature the "largest sand dunes in Scotland", said Trump International, and will be situated alongside the original course, completed in 2012.

Trump and his son Eric broke ground on the project last year, and a statement on the resort's website said the first guests will tee off next summer.

The dunes on the North Sea coast lost their status as a nationally-important protected environment four years ago, and followed local opposition to the building of the resort.

But Trump International claimed the new course was "one of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable" ever built.

Trump is locked in tightly-contested race with Kamala Harris to become the next US president, with the election to be held on November 5.
