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 major headaches for local authorities.
The trip, which includes trade talks and golf course events, has triggered a massive security operation, with thousands of police officers redeployed and unions threatening legal action over alleged breaches of workforce agreements and health and safety standards. Many Scots remain hostile to Trump due to longstanding disputes over his business ventures and political views, ensuring a mixed and often tense reception. The visit is further complicated by concerns about the strain on police resources, with some officials warning that the operation rivals the scale of the Queen's funeral.
Overall, Trump's presence is reigniting old grudges and sparking new controversies across Scotland.
