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 the opening of a new golf course, has reignited longstanding tensions between Trump and many Scots, who remain critical of his business practices and political stance. Security for the visit is extensive, 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. The visit is expected to be one of the largest security operations in Scotland since the Queen's funeral.
Despite Trump's personal and business ties to the country, his presence continues to polarize public opinion and strain local resources.
