Balmedie beach shut down for Donald Trump golf visit as part of massive security operation
President Donald Trump is expected to touch down in Aberdeen this evening. A full-scale security lockdown is in place at Balmedie Beach in preparation for Donald Trump's arrival on Monday as part of the final leg of his five-day trip to Scotland. The operation has seen police officers combing the dunes and shoreline around Trump's Menie Estate golf resort, just hours before he is expected to arrive in the Granite City this evening. Summer visitors were turned away from the beach and access to large parts of the beauty spot have been restricted as officers lined the area, keeping watch amid growing protest activity and anticipation of Trump's arrival. In unusual scenes at the often peaceful north-east coast, mounted officers were seen patrolling the beach while uniformed police stood along the dunes. The entire coastline adjacent to Trump's Aberdeenshire course has effectively been placed under lockdown. Protesters gathered near the Menie estate this morning, waving Palestinian flags and Scottish saltires, while others are expected to demonstrate in Aberdeen city centre later today. The clampdown comes as Trump met with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at 12.30pm today at Turnberry for talks on Gaza and trade. Following their meeting, the President is expected to fly from Turnberry at 3.45pm, before arriving in Aberdeen just before 6pm. He will spend his final night in Scotland at his luxury resort before unveiling a new course on Tuesday - named in honour of his late Scottish mother, Mary Anne MacLeod. The trip has seen Trump spend most of his time on the green, playing golf at both of his Scottish courses under a blanket of military-style protection. Police Scotland confirmed it has received support from forces across the UK as it deals with Trump's visit. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

He has vowed to press Trump to exempt Scotch whisky from US trade tariffs. The US President is expected to depart Scotland on Tuesday evening, concluding one of the most heavily policed visits in recent Scottish history.

Retired judge shares 'three simple words' for drivers to beat parking tickets
This simple phrase could get motorists out of paying for parking tickets when appealing their charge A former judge has issued advice to drivers that could help them when contesting parking fines. According to the expert, three simple words may prevent drivers from paying their motoring penalties. Retired judge Stephen Gold said the "I knew nothing" defence could prove successful in disputing charges. If drivers believe a penalty has been incorrectly issued by a private car park, they could contest it. Private car park operators can take legal action against drivers who do not pay their parking fines in certain instances; however, they may also have crucial defences. Stephen said appeals will likely have a better outcome when drivers have evidence that parking operators have violated their own code of practice. The former judge claimed motorists who believe they were unaware of payment requirements could be best positioned to mount a successful challenge. Speaking to The Mail, Stephen previously explained: "The operator must prove that you agreed to its conditions: if and when you would have to pay, and what would happen if you did not pay." "It will be unable to do this unless it can show that the conditions were displayed on one or more notices at the car park which a reasonable motorist would have seen, even if you did not see them because you drive and walk facing the sky." Stephen highlighted that in certain cases, no signage may be displayed at the car park. It's equally possible that warning signs are missing from the route individuals used when entering and exiting the car park or were blocked from view, reports the Express.

Obscure, nearly concealed signs that lack prominent visibility could provide a legitimate defence for missing a parking charge. Nevertheless, the judge recommends that motorists should consistently support their case with comprehensive photographic proof demonstrating that warning notices were inadequate. Stephen explained: "The car park operator will almost certainly rely on written evidence at the hearing which will include photographs of the signs containing their conditions. "But sometimes the photographs will fail to establish where exactly the signs were displayed in relation to where you were parked and the route you would have taken to reach that point." Drivers typically must contest a parking penalty within 28 days of receipt, though this timeframe may be extended under exceptional circumstances. Yet motorists who challenge a fine might forfeit the opportunity to settle at the substantially reduced rate available during the initial 14-day period.
