After waving to the crowds, he met the welcoming committee, which included Scottish Secretary Ian Murray.
He was then whisked away in his armoured motorcade to his exclusive Turnberry golf resort on the Ayrshire coast.
Villagers waved as the convoy passed through nearby Kirkoswald and later arrived at the resort at around 9.30pm.
And he has wasted no time in taking to the green after being seen teeing off at the luxury resort this morning.
Donning a white USA baseball cap, he has been joined by his son Eric as he enjoys the Turnberry's Ailsa course.
Mr Trump was spotted being escorted down to the course on a golf buggy, with a convoy following close behind.
Mr Trump is set to spend the weekend at his two golf resorts - Trump Turnberry and Menie in Aberdeenshire.
During his stay, he will officially open his second course at Menie, named in honour of his late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod.
His visit is expected to last until Tuesday, July 29.
The President is also scheduled to meet Scottish First Minister John Swinney and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during his trip.
A massive £5million security operation has been rolled out to ensure his safety, with around 6,000 police officers drafted in from across the UK to support the efforts.
His visit is expected to spark mass protests around his golf courses and in major Scottish cities.

Fox News' Jesse Watters ridiculed for sharing another rule for men to follow
Fox News anchor Jesse Watters another 'rule' for men to follow — and used President Donald Trump as a model example. On 'Jesse Watters Primetime' Wednesday evening, the host showed a clip of New Jersey Democratic Senator Cory Booker erupting on the floor this week at his colleagues, accusing some of being 'complicit' with the Trump administration's policies. Democrats are 'turning on each other like the Real Housewives,' Watters said, speaking alongside an image of an enraged-looking Booker dressed as a gladiator along with the caption 'Spartacus Strikes.' He then revealed his latest in a list of rules of how 'real' men should act. 'Rules for men: control your emotions,' Watters said. 'You never see Trump lose his cool — even when they arrested him and put him on trial.' Trump, who was arrested in Georgia in August 2023 in relation to 2020 election interference charges, appears to be scowling in his mugshot as he stares down the barrel of the camera. He pleaded not guilty. In a more recent example, on Thursday, the president posted a scathing message on Truth Social about Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, using his signature mix of some all-caps text and name-calling. "Jerome 'Too Late' Powell has done it again!!! He is TOO LATE, and actually, TOO ANGRY, TOO STUPID, & TOO POLITICAL, to have the job of Fed Chair," Trump wrote. Social media users quickly suggested that Trump may not have been the best example to use, with several pointing out the president's social media tirades. 'Oh yeah, Trump never whines or complains about the world being against him. Never the victim. Sure,' one X user remarked. Another sarcastically wrote: ''Trump never loses his cool?' @JesseBWatters must've missed the all-caps meltdowns, the table-pounding depositions, and the tantrums over toilets. If that's stoicism, I'm the Queen of England.' 'Apparently, man's man Jesse doesn't follow Trump on social media,' yet another said. Watters' so-called 'Rules for Men' haven't historically been well-received. 'I have rules for men,' Watters told 'The Five' in March. 'They're just funny, they're not that serious. Like, you don't eat soup in public. You don't cross your legs. And you don't drink from a straw. And one of the reasons you don't drink from a straw is the way your lips purse. It's very effeminate.' He added: 'Men don't wave simultaneously with both hands. We wave with one hand, not both hands at the same time.' Past photos of the Fox News host drinking with a straw quickly resurfaced on social media. Others also posted photos of Trump, who Watters often voices support for, using a straw. In June, Watters revealed another one of his rules. 'A man should never Photoshop his picture — ever. A man who Photoshops his picture is a woman,' he declared.

Trump envoy in Israel amid rising Gaza death toll of Palestinians seeking aid
Donald Trump 's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, arrived in Israel to discuss the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza and a potential ceasefire. The visit follows a deadly incident where at least 91 Palestinians were killed and over 600 wounded while attempting to access aid in Gaza, with Israel's military stating they fired warning shots. Aid delivery to Gaza remains critically low, with only 270 trucks entering on Wednesday, far short of the 500-600 trucks per day deemed necessary by aid organisations. International pressure on Israel is increasing due to the humanitarian crisis, with even close allies like Germany urging more aid and a ceasefire. The conflict began with Hamas's attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, and Israel's subsequent offensive has resulted in over 60,000 Palestinian deaths.

Almost 900 migrants cross the Channel in one day alone
The number of migrants crossing the English Channel into the UK has exceeded 25,000 in record time this year. Home Office figures indicate that 898 people arrived in 13 boats on Wednesday, bringing the total for 2025 to 25,436. This year marks the earliest point since data collection began in 2018 that the 25,000 milestone has been reached. The current total is 51 per cent higher than at the same point in 2024 and 73 per cent higher than in 2023. The latest figures present a setback for Sir Keir Starmer, who has vowed to tackle small boat crossings by "smashing the gangs".
