Seems everyone likes to claim a victor as
their own. The Buchan Observer, based in Aberdeenshire,
Scotland, ran a presidential announcement with the headline:
"Aberdeenshire Business Owner Wins Presidential Election."
Donald Trump owns the
Trump International golf course in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire,
which opened in 2011. He has visited the area several times,
most recently earlier this year. Trump is also half-Scottish.
His mother, Mary Macleod, grew up on the Isle of Lewis.
Speaking after the
result became official, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon
congratulated Trump on his victory and said it's time for all
those who share "progressive values" to speak up loudly
together.
