There are a lot of people spoiling for a fight with Donald Trump but Molly Forbes might just be the oldest and most determined.

The 92-year-old has refused for years to leave her cottage in Blamedie, which is on the edge of the US presidential nominee’s £1 billion new golf course near Aberdeen.

The presidential hopeful has consistently tried to move Molly and her son, Michael, from their homes she says.

But she is so determined to stay she has been collecting stream water in a wheelbarrow for four years after builders working on the course damaged a water pipe to her home.




Molly claims she has been the victim of intimidation including cutting off her water supply, floodlighting her bedroom window and building a massive wall against her property.

Most recently her row with Trump’s Menie Estate, has just appeared in a new documentary by British filmmaker Anthony Baxter, called You’ve Been Trumped, Too – a follow up to the controversial You’ve Been Trumped.

Molly’s unsuccessful battle to over turn planning permission has even seen her lodge papers with the Court of Session in Edinburgh seeking an interim interdict.

According to the Daily Beast, her problems began when workers broke a crucial pipe linking her home to a water source. As a result she has been collecting water with a wheelbarrow for four years.

It is her belief that, the US presidential nominee is trying to make her move out of her home so he can expand his golf course.

‘He promised the world,’ she said: ‘It never happens. Never trust Trump. I pity America if he’s president.’

Trump owns two Scottish golf courses – the Trump International Golf Links, in Aberdeenshire and Turnberry in Ayrshire.

Molly’s son Michael, who lives on an adjacent farm, said he hopes America will learn from their story and stand up to the billionaire.

‘When he first came to Scotland it was a bit like America here—half was for Trump, the other half wasn’t,’ he told The Daily Beast.

‘But now you’ll find that nothing’s happened with what he said so 90 percent of Scotland hates him. I can see the same thing happening here.’

Filmmaker Baxter has been crowdfunding to raise $75,000 to boost the film’s profile in America, with three days to go he is $10,000 off his target.

He told the Courier he aims to highlight the plight of residents living next to the golf course.

‘I want to show Americans what the consequences of Mr Trump’s actions can be. It is important to see the man behind the celebrity,’ he said.

In a statement, a spokeswoman for Trump International Golf Links said: ‘Trump International would never conduct the type of activity claimed by Molly Forbes.

‘We are entirely focused on delivering a five-star golf and leisure experience for the public and enjoy a great relationship with all of our neighbours with the exception of the Forbes family and a few others who have fought the project since its inception.’



She said the course refutes the allegations regarding the water supply and that Molly and Michael Forbes rejected an offer to be connected to mains water.

She added that both Molly and her son owned a make-shift well located on Trump land, the maintenance and operation of which is not the responsibility of the company.

She continued: ‘The ‘well’, is shared with another neighbouring property owner, who will confirm that their water system has historically been unreliable and fraught with problems, long before Trump owned the land.

‘Five years ago, an unknown, underground clay pipe was unintentionally disrupted by our lead contractor and was repaired immediately.

‘The neighbour who shares the ‘well’ with Forbes can attest that his water supply was only temporary affected and rectified fully within a few days.

‘Over the years, Forbes has personally dug up his well, dislodged and broken pipes and subsequently blamed the company.’
