Former U.S. President Donald Trump is visiting Scotland for the opening of a new golf course and meetings with UK officials, but his trip is stirring controversy and logistical headaches.
Many Scots remain opposed to Trump and his business ventures, leading to widespread protests and demonstrations planned in cities like Aberdeen and Edinburgh. The visit is putting significant strain on Scottish police, with thousands of officers redeployed and the police union threatening legal action over alleged breaches of workforce agreements and health and safety standards. The security operation is being compared to the scale of the Queen's funeral, highlighting the magnitude of the challenge.
Trump's complex personal ties to Scotland, through his mother, add another layer to the already tense atmosphere.
