Consent for an offshore wind farm off Aberdeen, opposed by Donald Trump,  has been granted by the Scottish government.

The £230m development consists of 11 wind turbines.

Mr Trump claims they would spoil the sea views for golfers on his course at Menie, where he also wants to build a 140-bedroom hotel.

The European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) project is a joint venture by utility company Vattenfall, engineering firm Technip and Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (Areg). The project is aimed at providing enough energy for more than 49,000 homes.
