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 trade talks and golf course openings, has reignited longstanding tensions between Trump and many Scots, who remain critical of his business practices and political stance. Security for the visit is unprecedented, with thousands of police officers redeployed and the Scottish Police Federation threatening legal action over alleged breaches of workforce agreements and health and safety standards. Flight restrictions and a massive security operation, likened to arrangements for the Queen's funeral, are in place to manage the visit.
The controversy highlights the complex relationship between Trump, his ancestral homeland, and the local communities affected by his presence.
