New protest amid Donald Trump's arrival over golf plan
Michael Forbes has refused to sell up to Donald Trump
A group dedicated to stopping Donald Trump's golf project has said it has put a blockage in the way of the bid to buy extra land for the resort.
Tripping Up Trump has bought some of the land belonging to Michael Forbes, one of the residents refusing to sell.
It comes as Mr Trump flies in to Aberdeen to talk about his controversial £1bn seaside golf resort plan at Menie.
Mr Trump announced the dunes would be named the Great Dunes of Scotland.
He wants to create the "world's greatest golf course" in Aberdeenshire.
Hundreds of names
The billionaire, and his son Donald Trump Jnr, are arriving at Aberdeen Airport to speak to the media.
Tripping Up Trump said the new land deal with Mr Forbes was known as The Bunker.
It has bought an acre of land in what it calls the heartland of the planned Trump golf resort, and said the development cannot go ahead in its current form without access to it.
The group said that by putting the names of hundreds of protesters on the title deeds, it would create a massive legal headache for the Trump Organisation and Aberdeenshire Council if they were to pursue a compulsory purchase order for the site.
The master plan for the resort will be considered by Aberdeenshire Council later this year.
