The Trump golf course in Aberdeenshire could be at risk of flooding in the next 30 years, according to a new report.
The study by Ordnance Survey shows that the coast directly north of the Menie links course will recede by tens of metres by the middle of this century.
Trump International golf course is one of many Scottish links at risk of severe flooding, due to climate change, and the coastal mapping also shows The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and Montrose Golf Club are under threat.
This could mean the facility, just north of Balmedie, could be flooded from the north.
Approximately one sixth of Scotland’s 600 golf courses are located on the coast including Royal Troon in Ayrshire and the Trump Turnberry Golf Links.
The Montrose Golf Links in Angus has already been forced to move three of its holes due to erosion.
The research was commissioned by the Scottish government to assess the impact of coastal erosion and has led to the publication of a “dynamic coast” map, which shows which parts of the country are most threatened.
Scientists say sea levels are rising worldwide by 3cm a decade as the ice caps melt and rising world temperatures mean oceans are getting warmer and are therefore expanding.
Separate maps from the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency have also warned the Menie links are a major flood risk.
Last night, Trump International Golf Links Aberdeen was not available for comment.
