The flacks at the Scottish Tourist Board are qualifying for bonus pay. Yesterday NBC's Michelle Kosinski showed us the "green wide vistas" of the highlands: once-forested hills were cleared centuries ago for charcoal and are now gradually being replanted. Now CBS' Mark Phillips takes us to the sand dunes of Balmedie along the "stunning east coast of Scotland" where a golf course and hotel resort is being planned by billionaire developer Donald Trump. Trump's project was planned "to help him get in touch with his roots. His mother was from here. If that is the case he is having the full Scottish experience--starting with stubbornness." A local farm is located where the course's back nine is planned and the farmer, Michael Forbes, is not selling. Quipped Forbes of the Donald: "He is fired."
