Snipers, Secret Service sweeps and a personal chef on standby: Scotland awaits Trump's arrival
Donald Trump likes a wall. And now he has his very own 15ft-high metal barrier creating a fortress as he tees off for a weekend of politics, play and precision in Scotland. An almost surreal contrast now exists in the tiny Ayrshire village of Turnberry. On one side, the stunning coastline and luxury hotel that bears the president's name. And on the other, an armed buffer zone with sniper teams and road checkpoints. This visit is unlike those that have gone before. The threat level and associated security on display is unprecedented following the attempted assassination of Trump at a campaign rally in the US. "It would be inappropriate for me to plan an operation and not bear in mind what has happened," the senior officer in charge of this weekend's policing efforts told me. Turnberry, and its population of about 200 people, have this week witnessed a never-ending stream of Army trucks, terrorist sweeps, road checkpoints, airspace restrictions, sniper positions being erected and Secret Service agents roaming around. It is the most extensive security deployment in Scotland since the death of the late Queen in 2022. It is estimated around 5,000 officers will be on the streets, with teams coming from across the UK to assist. The spectacle primarily centres on Donald Trump coming to play golf before the arrival of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for talks, likely on Monday. The president, whose mother was born on the Scottish island of Lewis, is then scheduled to travel to his Aberdeenshire resort where a new golf course is set to open. 'Trump is a decent boss' Stephanie Campbell and Leanne Maxwell live in Turnberry and used to work at the Trump-owned resort, like many other locals. The pair told Sky News the very first lesson staff at the resort are given is not in fine service or guest etiquette, but in how to respond to a bomb threat. It is claimed there are posters above the landline phones in the hotel with instructions on the worst-case scenario. Stephanie told Sky News: "I had no issues working for him, he is a really decent boss. "The last time he came there was an element of excitement, I think this time there comes with an added element of concern. "It brings a lot higher threats and security and it's much more difficult for everybody in the area." Echoing her concerns, Leanne told Sky News: "Security is obviously being bumped up. It's quite worrying. He's quite a man, ain't he?" Sweeps of the rooms are carried out by US Secret Service agents after housekeeping staff complete their duties and Trump's meals, they say, are prepared by a personal chef to avoid the risk of poisoning. To the outside world, these measures seem standard for a US president. But to those who live in Turnberry, it's far from normal when they have a date with the commander-in-chief. Awkward encounters Prestwick Airport has become something of an American airbase in recent days. The infamous armoured limousine, known as "The Beast", has been spotted being wheeled out of a US military plane as the presidential motorcade prepares for his arrival tonight. Greeting the president at the doors of Air Force One will be the secretary of state for Scotland, Ian Murray, who previously supported a motion alleging Trump was guilty of "misogynism, racism and xenophobia". Another awkward encounter could come in the form of Scottish First Minister John Swinney's showdown with Mr Trump next week. The SNP leader, who publicly backed Kamala Harris in the presidential race, called for September's state visit to be scrapped after the Ukrainian president's visit to the White House descended into a shouting match live on TV earlier this year. Demonstrations are planned throughout the weekend, with marches and protests announced in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Kirsty Haigh, from Scotland Against Trump, claims the president uses Scotland to "cleanse his image" and he should not be able to use the country as an "escape" from his views. She told Sky News: "He should not be welcomed by us, by our leaders. "We want to see a Scotland that is very different than [the] America that's being created."

Canary Island unveils new plan and exactly the 'type of tourist' it wants
Lanzarote's town council and the SPEL-Turismo Lanzarote are collaborating on a new campaign to foster "ethical and responsible tourism" that attracts the a certain kind of visitor A popular island in the Canaries is launching a new campaign to outline the exact type of tourist it wants to attract. Lanzarote has declared it 'doesn't want just any tourist' any longer. Led by the island's Cabildo (town council) and managed by SPEL-Turismo Lanzarote, in collaboration with a specialist sustainability consultancy, the campaign will focus on fostering greater awareness among tourists even before they arrive on the island. At the campaign's launch, Oswaldo Betancort, president of the Lanzarote Cabildo, said that they want to attract tourists with appreciation and respect for the island. 'We are sending a very clear message: Lanzarote doesn't want just any tourist. 'But rather those who love and enjoy the island, who respect its uniqueness and contribute to its preservation.' The initiative is designed to reach all sectors of tourism, targeting not only visitors but also involving local residents, businesses, and the wider community. 'We are creating a globally unique model of ethical and responsible tourism,' Betancort said. He continued: 'The aim is for visitors to understand, even before they land here, that they are entering a delicate and beautiful territory that needs to be protected.' Hector Fernandez, CEO of SPEL-Turismo Lanzarote in Lanzarote, also commented on the responsibility of locals to make the campaign successful. He said: 'This campaign isn't just for tourists, it's also aimed at our local population. 'The message will be integrated into our work with airlines and tour operators to reshape how tourism is viewed on the island. It's a chance to change the entire paradigm of Lanzarote as a destination.' As reported by the Canarian Weekly, the project is being developed by the consultancy CARSA, with Director of Innovation Antonio Collado explaining that the approach will be participatory and inclusive. 'We're not just launching a campaign; we're building a long-term strategy for responsible tourism that reflects the needs of the island and its people,' Collado said. Working groups will be established with representatives from key sectors, including the Cabildo's Biosphere Reserve, Environment, and Geopark departments, as well as the island's Art, Culture, and Tourism Centres. The Spanish-owned archipelago that is the Canary Islands received a staggering 15.5 million tourists in 2024 - a 10 per cent increase compared to 2023. The rising tourist numbers have sparked backlash among locals who are being priced out of the property market in recent years. To address the issues caused by holiday rentals, Spain recently launched a new nationwide register which includes properties in the Canary Islands and Balearic Islands. Under the Single Tourist Rental Registry, property owners will need to register to get a code that verifies they are legally allowed to use the property for tourism. This will include entire homes, individual rooms within a property that's rented out separately, and homes listed on the likes of Airbnb and
