Politics and protests: What to expect from Donald Trump's Scotland visit
Donald Trump will arrive in Scotland later on Friday, on his first visit to the UK since his re-election. The US president will be met by both political leaders and protests during the visit, which is expected to last five days, and will see him inaugurate a new golf course in Aberdeenshire. The trip comes two months before the King is due to welcome Trump for a formal state visit to the UK. The Trump administration continues to deal with turmoil on the home front, as the president struggles to salvage his reputation with voters amid reports around his friendship with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. But Trump's visit to his ancestral home will hardly provide an escape from controversy. The visit has faced criticism from both political opponents and local residents, and will see a significant police operation across Scotland. Why is Trump visiting Scotland? Trump is expected to visit his Turnberry golf resort, as well as his course at Menie in Aberdeenshire. His trip also comes as a new golf course is about to debut on August 13, which the Trump family business has billed "the greatest 36 holes in golf." Trump is dedicating the new course to his Scottish-born mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who grew up on the Isle of Lewis. But Trump's existing Aberdeenshire course has been mired in controversy in recent years, after it struggled to turn a profit, and was found by Scottish conservation authorities to have partially destroyed nearby sand dunes. Trump's company was also ordered to cover the Scottish government's legal costs after the course unsuccessfully sued over the construction of a nearby wind farm, arguing in part that it damaged golfers' views. Critics also argue the trip - which is expected to cost tens of thousands of dollars - is a blatant example of Trump blending his presidential duties with promoting his family's business interests. The White House has brushed off questions about potential conflicts of interest, arguing that Trump's business success before he entered politics was key to his appeal with voters. White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers called his visit "a working trip", but added that Trump has "built the best and most beautiful world-class golf courses anywhere in the world, which is why they continue to be used for prestigious tournaments and by the most elite players in the sport." Who will Trump meet during his visit? The president will meet with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during his stay, when the pair are expected to discuss the UK-US trade deal. Trump said the meeting would likely take place at one of his properties. He will also meet with Scottish First Minister John Swinney. The SNP leader previously said he would take the opportunity to raise various issues with the president, including tariffs, Gaza, and Ukraine. Speaking ahead of his arrival, Swinney said the global attention the visit will receive provides the opportunity to promote Scotland's tourism sector and economic investment potential, as well as to allow people to respectfully demonstrate the principles of freedom and justice. "Scotland shares a strong friendship with the United States that goes back centuries," he said ahead of the visit. "The partnership remains steadfast through economic, cultural and ancestral links - including, of course, with the president himself." The first minister said Scotland is a "proud democratic nation" that "stands firm on the principles of equality and freedom for all, and a society that stands up for a fair and just world." Swinney has been vocally critical of the US president in the past, and openly endorsed Trump's political opponent Kamala Harris before last year's election - a move branded an "insult" by a spokesperson for Trump's Scottish businesses. John Swinney has argued that it is "in Scotland's interest" for him to meet the president, and for the visit to go ahead. But some Scots disagree, and a major police operation is being mounted during the visit in anticipation of protests. Thousands of officers are expected to be deployed by Police Scotland, who will deal with planned mass protests around Trump's golf courses and major Scottish cities. Trade unions, disability rights activists, climate justice campaigners, Palestinian and Ukrainian solidarity groups and American diaspora organisations are among those holding demonstrations in protest of the visit. The Stop Trump Scotland group has encouraged demonstrators to come to Aberdeen and 'show Trump exactly what we think of him in Scotland.' A spokesperson for the organisation said: "The people of Scotland don't want to roll out a welcome mat for Donald Trump, whose government is accelerating the spread of climate breakdown around the world." They also said that people in Scotland "simply wanted to live in peace near what is now [Trump's] vanity project golf course", and have "experienced Trump's abusive and high-handed behaviour first-hand, long before he entered the White House." Protests are planned in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dumfries. During Trump's visit to Scotland in 2018, similar gatherings drew thousands of protestors.

Donald Trump to land in Scotland as details about his trip released
Donald Trump's visit to Scotland today, as part of a four-day trip, has been detailed. Everything known about Donald Trump 's visit to Scotland today for his four-day "private" trip before his official state visit in September has been detailed, from protests to meetings. The US President'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. Here is everything we know about his trip: Why is Trump visiting Scotland? Trump's main reason for coming to Scotland is golf and to visit his two courses - Trump International at Menie, which he opened in 2012, and Trump Turnberry, which he purchased two years later. His last visit to the courses was in 2023, although he has been a frequent visitor over the years. Trump has often spoke about his love for Scotland due to his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, being from just outside Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. When is President Trump coming to Scotland? The president is expected to arrive tonight and travel back to the US on Tuesday July 29. Although his schedule has not been made public, he is expected to spend most of his time at Turnberry and Menie. His formal state visit will take place from September 17 to 19 and will be a more formal affair where he and First Lady Melania Trump will stay at Windsor Castle as the guests of the King and Queen. Who will be meeting with President Trump in Scotland? The US President will meet with the Prime Minister in Aberdeen on Monday, according to his White House press secretary, to "refine the great trade deal that was brokered between the United States and the United Kingdom". However, Downing Street is yet to confirm the meeting's details, including where it will take place. First Minister John Swinney said he decided to meet Trump on his visit to "promote the interests of Scotland" and to discuss things such as the war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the imposition of tariffs on products such as Scotch whisky. He said: 'As First Minister it is my responsibility to advance our interests, raise global and humanitarian issues of significant importance, including the unimaginable suffering we are witnessing in Gaza, and ensure Scotland's voice is heard at the highest levels of government across the world. 'That is exactly what I will do when I meet with President Trump during his time in Scotland.' The Scottish Secretary Ian Murray is expected to formally welcome the US President when he steps off Air Force One at Prestwick Airport tonight. What will security be like? The presidential motorcade is 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. Over 6,300 UK police officers were deployed at a cost to London's Metropolitan Police of £3.4m during his last state visit in June 2019. A previous four-day working visit in 2018 cost more than £14.2m. The Scottish Police Federation (SPF) has raised concerns about what the Trump visit will mean for its members against a backdrop of police complaints about spending on the force. The SPF also insisted that policing across the country will be "seriously affected" as response times could "double". 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 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. Locals were left stunned on Tuesday afternoon as a fleet of Chinook helicopters flew over Torry Battery and Aberdeen Harbour. The helicopters - believed to be part of the advance security detail - later landed at Aberdeen Airport. Will there be protests? Thousands protested in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen during his last presidential visit in 2018 and he was booed during an afternoon round of golf by demonstrators along the perimeter at Turnberry. A paraglider also flew over the hotel with a banner criticising the president. Earlier this year, his Turnberry golf course was vandalised with pro-Palestine messages. More protests are expected this time around. Police Scotland have said they have the resources to deal with whatever the visit brings. 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. Scots farmer, Michael Forbes, has also warned Donald Trump he will never sell his land next door to the US president's luxury golf resort in Menie. "There's no way I'm ever going to sell," he told the media this week ahead of the Republican leader's latest visit to Aberdeenshire. "Everyone in Scotland hates him." First Minister John Swinney said people had a right to 'peaceful demonstration', adding that 'everyone has the democratic right to protect and express their views in a peaceful, and democratic manner'. 'That is right and proper,' he added. 'I am confident the vast majority of people protesting will do Scotland proud and demonstrate as they should – peacefully and lawfully. 'I am also confident that Scotland's police service can handle the challenge of keeping all our communities safe and, as they must, in maintaining the appropriate security any US President requires. 'This weekend is a landmark moment in our relationship with the United States, and I am certain it will be remembered for Scotland showing the world the very best of itself.'

Euan McColm: Is there any hope for future of Woolmanhill Hospital?
The ongoing dereliction of Woolmanhill Hospital is grim to witness. From the outside, the building maintains its majesty but – as online film clips have shown – its interiors are crumbling. Like a metaphor for the city of Aberdeen, itself, the Woolmanhill maintains a brave face during difficult times but, behind that facade, all is not well. When the NHS moved out of the building – home to the original Aberdeen Royal Infirmary – a decade ago, there were exciting plans for its redevelopment. The A-listed building – which has been in the hands of CAF Properties since the NHS moved out – was going to become a 102-bedroom luxury resort but those proposals were ditched in 2021. Since then, according to the city council, the building's owners have been looking for new ways of bringing the building back to life. Delay in finding new purpose for Woolmanhill site The future of the Woolmanhill Hospital site has had several false dawns. Image: Kenny Elrick/DC Thomson. Fighting the instinct to be unreasonable, I can understand the reasons behind the delay. First – and nobody living in Aberdeen needs to be reminded of this – the city has changed dramatically over the past decade. As recently as 2014, Aberdeen was to be considered the jewel in the Scottish crown. During the independence referendum, then SNP leader Alex Salmond promised that North Sea oil would create a strong foundation for economic good times. A Yes vote would mean a glorious future. Now, the oil and gas industry is treated as an embarrassment by the Scottish Government, as something to be run down and forgotten. The second perfectly acceptable explanation for the delay in developing the site is the disruption caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. Life may have returned to normality since the vaccination roll out four years ago but the financial hangover of months of lockdowns lingers. Development can't be 'wished into existence' Across Scotland's cities are examples of architecture so grand, so downright spectacular, that nobody (unless they were, say, a member of the Saudi royal family) could fund their construction today. To build something comparable – in terms of materials and sheer craftsmanship – to the Woolmanhill hospital, today, would be prohibitively expensive. This being so, it's doubly sad to see the place slowly fall apart. Windows are smashed and boarded up on the derelict property. Image: Kenny Elrick/DC Thomson. Of course, reality doesn't care about the desire to see the building brought to life. If there is no viable project, then one cannot simply be wished into existence. But nor should the building remain abandoned and unloved, left to decay. If developers cannot find a solution then the government should step in. There have been calls for the place to be turned into a medical museum which certainly makes a certain kind sense. Where better to display the marvels of medicine, to tell the stories of pioneers in the field, than a grand hospital building. But, realistically, would such a museum prove to be such a smash that it justified the spending of tens of millions in its development? I have my doubts. Perhaps the answer to the question of what to do with Woolmanhill is rather less glamorous and exciting than a swanky resort. Perhaps it – and other empty buildings – hold part of the solution to our ongoing housing crisis. Is there a creative partnership to be struck between public and private sectors to bring Woolmanhill back to life? Could housing be the answer for derelict Woolmanhill Hospital? With young people priced out of the housing market in the city and across Aberdeenshire, pressure on existing housing association stock is reaching intolerable levels. Could the city council, the Scottish Government, and the developers work together to redevelop the site, turning it into flats and townhouses, ensuring a proportion fall into the category of 'affordable' and are made available to first-time buyers? Given the drop in footfall across Scotland's cities, it's difficult to see how a place the size of Woolmanhill could easily be converted into a commercial venue. What would it contain? Shops and concessions that nobody will use? Pop-up restaurants that don't last a week and bring little to the local economy? People, however, will always need somewhere to live… Graffiti adorns the outside of Woolmanhill Hospital. Image: Kenny Elrick/DC Thomson. Last week, a spokeswoman for Aberdeen City Council said that talks with CAF, headed up by property tycoon Charlie Ferrari, were 'ongoing' However, both the local authority and Mr Ferrari remain tight-lipped as to what these talks actually involve. Time truly is of the essence, here. With each passing month, the unused building falls further into disrepair. The longer the delay in taking action, the less viable redevelopment of the building will become. There is no simple answer to the question of what to do with Woolmanhill but unless one is found, and quickly, the building will end up past saving.
