Former U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to Scotland, where he is opening a new golf course and revisiting his mother's homeland, has reignited longstanding tensions.
The trip is marked by widespread protests, significant security operations involving thousands of police officers, and legal threats from the Scottish Police Federation over alleged breaches of workforce agreements and health and safety standards. Local opposition to Trump's golf resorts remains strong, with many Scots refusing to welcome him despite his personal and business ties to the country. The visit is expected to stretch police resources to their limits, drawing comparisons to the scale of security seen during the Queen's funeral.
Overall, Trump's presence in Scotland continues to be deeply divisive, blending personal history, politics, and public controversy.
