SLC Turnberry Ltd., which manages the famed Turnberry golf resort, said closure for part of the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to pre-tax losses of 3.7 million pounds.
Trump International Golf Club Scotland Ltd, which operates a club Trump built north of Aberdeen, reported a pre-tax loss of 697,000 pounds.
The results were helped by the companies receiving just over 1 million pounds in COVID payroll support from the UK government.

The records cut against the Republican ex-president’s long-cultivated image as a successful businessman as he mounts another bid for the White House.
