Trump arrives in Scotland amid protests

Donald Trump has arrived in Scotland as thousands of people gathered to protest against his visit.

The US president touched down at Prestwick Airport shortly after 20:20 after completing his two-day working trip to the UK.

Mr Trump, whose mother was Scottish, will spend the weekend at his Turnberry golf resort in Ayrshire in what has been described as a private visit.

Protestors filled George Square in Glasgow ahead of his arrival.

Shortly after Mr Trump’s arrival at Turnberry a power paraglider was spotted flying close to the resort with a banner which said “Trump: Well below par”.

The Scotland United Against Trump group had said it hoped to attract about 3,000 people to the Glasgow protest, which organisers said was intended to send out a message that Scotland opposed Mr Trump’s “politics of division and hatred”.
