Deer hit by cop car at Trump's golf course put down
A deer has been put down after being knocked down by a police vehicle. A deer has been euthanised after it was hit by a police vehicle at Donald Trump's Aberdeenshire golf course ahead of his "private" visit. The US President is scheduled to arrive tonight as part of a five-day trip to visit his Scottish golf courses. Trump's arrival will be his first visit back to the UK since he won the 2024 Presidential Election. On his trip, he is set to meet with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and First Minister John Swinney, as well as making his way to his golf resorts at Turnberry in Ayrshire and Menie in Aberdeenshire. Security at his Menie and Turnberry courses have been bolstered ahead of his arrival as officers from across the UK have been brought in to help the operation. Ahead of his arrival, New Arc Wildlife Rescue have confirmed that they raced to Trump International Golf Course in Aberdeen this morning at around 5.30am after receiving a report from Police Scotland that a deer had been knocked down by a police vehicle. A statement on their social media read: 'We were called by Police Scotland at 5.30am this morning after a police vehicle taking part in the security operation at Trump International, Scotland Golf Course in Aberdeen had struck a deer. 'Certainly not your average start to the day for our centre co-manager Paul who volunteers his time out of hours for deer emergencies. 'Sadly the deer's injuries meant the deer was beyond saving so had to be euthanised at the scene. 'Thank you to the police, security team and estate managers who assisted with the incident.' A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Shortly before 5.20 am on Friday, 25 July, 2025, a police vehicle was in collision with a deer on the B977 in the vicinity of the Menie Estate. "Staff from a local animal charity attended to humanely euthanise the animal. No-one was injured." As part of the security protocol Trump's presidential motorcade was transported ahead of the visit by United States Air Force transport aircraft. This includes two identical limousines and more than 20 other security and communications vehicles. Trump will travel in Cadillac One - an armoured, high-powered enhanced limousine known as "The Beast" - alongside an enhanced police presence. Police Scotland confirmed it was preparing for a presidential visit earlier this month and the Scottish government said it had been working with the national force to put plans in place, with thousands of officers likely to be deployed as part of the security operation. Flight restrictions will also be imposed over parts of Scotland as part of routine security precautions for the arrival. The initial restrictions cover Prestwick Airport, the area surrounding the Turnberry resort in South Ayrshire, RAF Lossiemouth in the north-east and over the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire. The Stop Trump Coalition confirmed that it is organising events in Aberdeen in the city centre and outside the US consulate in Edinburgh on Saturday at midday. There is also planned activity around Turnberry and Menie, where Trump is expected to open a new 18-hole golf course. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
