The US President spent the first day of his Scotland visit playing golf and waving to supporters and onlookers while peaceful protests were carried out throughout the country.
Trump landed in Prestwick Airport on Friday evening for a five-day private visit, during which he will meet both the UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, and Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney.
His Saturday, however, was mostly spent on his golf course accompanied by his second son, Eric.

At the protest, Roderick Scott, 66, told the PA news agency: “I think Trump is a menace to everyone in the world. There’s no activity that, as President, he has not confounded the wellbeing of people in.
“In particular, the people of Gaza and Ukraine, (he’s) an unreliable ally, failing to supply ammunition on time and holding it as a carrot in front of the Ukrainians and extorting their own assets from them to keep them in the fight for freedom.
