I think if the investors saw daylight to the project being approved by the Scottish Govt, or at least not called in again upon resubmission, then logically there could be interest. They put some work into the project - just ask Chris Haspell.

Chris is a close friend, and I'm well aware of how much work went into it. However, from what I hear, the situation has changed since the planning app was rejected by the Scottish government, and I believe there is more that just a lack of appetite for a fight.
I could be wrong. But I have seen no sign that the investors are, well... invested in this campaign.

Adam Lawrence:
Show me the money, as a man once said...
Jeff Schley:
Indeed David. He is leveraging the situation of the pandemic with his ready to go hotel financing to get the course built.
He continued: “We are in the process of working with local architects to finalise the design and will be submitting a planning application for the first phase of the project imminently. However, we will not start any form of construction until Coul Links Golf Course is approved.
Mark Mammel:
And more interesting. At least the locals don't seem to have given up. In the RDGC member email from Neil Hampton today.
