Donald Trump breaks his silence after landing in Prestwick as he hails Scottish celebrity
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DONALD Trump hailed 007 legend Sir Sean Connery for helping him build his golf courses moments after landing in Scotland tonight. The president of the free world wasted no time in name-dropping the acting legend as he stepped off the flight from the States. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 U.S. President Donald Trump waves as he disembarks from Air Force One at Prestwick Airport 2 Sean Connery as James Bond 007 Trump said Connery, from Edinburgh, helped him get the permits for the two courses at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire that he will visit next week. The new course will be named after his mother Mary MacLeod who was born and raised on the Isle of Lewis. The plane landed just before 8.28pm before it taxi'd along the tarmac at Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire. Trump eventually surfaced at 8.40 at the door of the aircraft, waving to the crowds. He then took his time going down the stairs before meeting the welcoming comittee including Scottish Secretary Ian Murray. Trump then chatted ot the waiting media. He said: 'There's no place like Turnberry. It's the best course in the world. 'My son is going to cut a ribbon for the second course in Aberdeen. 'Sean Connery helped get me the permits, if it wasn't for Sean Connery we wouldn't have those great courses.' He then launched into criticism of immigration into Europe and 'windmills' across the countryside and in the sea. Protesters hang off bridge in major demo ahead of Trump's Scotland visit He said: 'I say two things to Europe. 'Stop the windmills. You're ruining your countries, killing the birds, it's so sad. 'On immigration, you better get your act together or else you won't have a Europe.' Hundreds of people gathered at the Mound viewing point to catch the iconic aircraft landing. Some plane spotters and Trump fans descended on the spot close to the runway from the morning to wait for his arrival. One supporter waved a Make America Great Again flag, while another man wore a cap with the tongue-in-cheek message Scotland Is Already Great emblazoned on it. Some youngsters were also seen sporting Trump's signature red MAGA hat. The airport area was under heavy security, with scores of cops keeping a close eye on the crowds. Police snipers also stood watch on Prestwick's air traffic control tower and a scaffold platform close to where the Commander in Chief disembarked the iconic modified Boeing 747. Earlier in the day, Marine One, the President's helicopter, was spotted being prepared outside a hangar at Prestwick. Mr Trump's large motorcade was also on standby airside, including blacked out SUVs and the President's heavily armoured car, known as the Beast.

HGV driver who had to give up work says £1m Lottery win ‘takes pressure away'
Ally Gilmour, 57, had to give up work due to ill health but has now won £1,000,000 after matching five main numbers and the bonus ball. The grandfather, from Carluke, South Lanarkshire, has already used some of his winnings to buy matching Volkswagens for himself and his wife Anne, also 57. He also now has a 'man cave' to socialise with friends in, and it includes a dart board, television, games machine and a bar. Mr Gilmour said: 'I've been wanting somewhere to socialise in the garden for years – it's all a part of Scottish culture to have your friends come for a beer or two in the garden, for a laugh and some TV.' He said the win removes the 'pressure' of being unable to work. Mr Gilmour said: 'It was tough coming to terms with not being able to work anymore. This win takes all that pressure away. I can finally focus on my health without the worry.' His numbers came up in the Lottery draw on Saturday June 28 and he realised he had won that night. He called his daughter Siobhan, 34, at 6am the next day, and again at 8am, joking that he wanted a breakfast to match his new status as a millionaire. Mr Gilmour said: 'When I checked my account and saw that the numbers matched up, I just sat there staring at it. It's safe to say I couldn't sleep after that.' He recalled telling his daughter, who was in a cafe at the time and asked him if he wanted breakfast, and he said to her: 'A roll with a square sausage – and some caviar. Don't you know I'm a millionaire?' After confirming the news with the National Lottery, Mr Gilmour said: 'I went out into the garden and shouted, 'I've won the Lottery!' at the top of my lungs. I wanted the whole world to know. It was an incredible feeling.' He added of his win: 'It's not just about me – it's for the whole family. 'We've had a tough time recently and this gives us all an exciting fresh start.'
