Former U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to Scotland, where he owns multiple golf resorts and has family roots, is drawing widespread protests and creating significant challenges for local authorities.
The trip, which includes both business and diplomatic elements, has reignited longstanding tensions between Trump and many Scots, who remain critical of his presence and business dealings. Police resources are being stretched to the limit, with thousands of officers redeployed and unions threatening legal action over alleged breaches of workforce agreements and health and safety standards. Security measures are being compared to those for the Queen's funeral, highlighting the scale of the operation.
Despite the personal significance of the visit for Trump, the reception is expected to be mixed, with demonstrations planned across major cities.
