Members of Mr Trump's family followed him into his estate. He has repeatedly referred to Aberdeen as "the oil capital of Europe", and described it while he was at Turnberry as "an amazing place". Earlier today the US president was pressed on his views on Scottish independence after trade talks with Mr Starmer. The Prime Minister and his wife, Victoria, were greeted by the US leader on the steps of the luxury golf resort in Ayrshire earlier today. Sir Keir and Trump discussed the prospect of reviving ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas amid the humanitarian crisis engulfing Gaza. The PM was also likely to discuss the future of tariffs on British steel. Sir Keir and Mr Trump have built a rapport on the world stage, despite their differing political backgrounds. The Republican leader previously praised the PM for doing a "very good job" so far in government. And, when quizzed on Scottish independence, he said he didn't want to "get involved" in British domestic politics. Furious Trump says he'll CUT Putin's 50-day peace deadline and says he's 'disappointed' after latest ruthless Kyiv blitz He's due to meet First Minister John Swinney later today - and added "I hear very good things about him, and I'm meeting him today, so maybe I'll have a better opinion." On Sunday, Trump teed off on his second round in Turnberry after landing on Air Force One on Friday night, accompanied by a massive security team. Public protests at the course - surrounded by a ring of steel - were limited, while larger demonstrations were held in Aberdeen and Edinburgh on Saturday. Mr Swinney has said he will use a planned meeting with Trump to urge the US President to apply pressure on Israel to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza. Speaking ahead of discussions, which are expected to take place in Aberdeenshire, Mr Swinney told BBC Breakfast: "President Trump obviously is very welcome in Scotland. "He brings with him a huge amount of media attention to Scotland, and obviously there's been significant international events have been handled as a consequence of his visit here in Scotland, particularly the trade talks with the European Union. "So what I want to pursue with President Trump is obviously the issues that are of concern to the people of Scotland."

Scottish Ministers call in hotel demolition decision
A decision to let a historic hotel be demolished has been called in by Scottish Ministers after councillors went against their own officers advice. East Lothian councillors voted to approve plans to tear down the Golf Hotel, in North Berwick, and replace it with 14 flats at a meeting earlier this year. The decision went against planning officers recommendations and objections from Historic Environment Scotland who are a statutory body. In a letter to the local authority Scottish Ministers have confirmed they will consider the application themselves and issue a decision. It comes after the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland (AHSS) also called for Government intervention describing the unlisted building as 'architecturally distinguished' adding it occupies a 'key position in the North Berwick conservation area. The Golf Hotel closed commercially in 2006 and had been used by its owners for staff accommodation until it was bought by its current owners during the pandemic. However plans to demolish the building and build 14 flats on the site, on Dirleton Avenue, were recommended for refusal by planning officers who said it had not been proven that the hotel could not continue to operate as a commercial venture. And Historic Environment Scotland (HES) objected to its demolition after describing the building as having historic and architectural significance in the town. At a planning committee meeting in March East Lothian councillors heard the former hotel had initially been a house for a single family who used it in the last century as a holiday home evening bringing their own cattle with them so the children did not have to drink local milk. Caledonian Heritable bought the building in 2021 and applied for permission to demolish it and build 14 luxury flats on the site. Objectors to the demolition said the building should be given listed status and was an important part of the town's conservation area. A council spokesperson said: 'Scottish Ministers have called in the application for the demolition of the former Golf Hotel meaning it will now be for them to determine. 'We have submitted the necessary information required to begin the process and made all local members, the community council and objectors aware of this action.'
