A BANNER protesting Donald Trump’s visit to Scotland has been unveiled near his mother’s birthplace.
Lewis Revival – a vintage and house decor business just miles from where Trump’s mother, Mary Anne, was born in Lewis – unveiled a banner this morning which reads "shame on you, Donald John".
It comes as the US president is set to land at Prestwick Airport this evening ahead of a four-day private trip in Scotland.
The business previously unveiled the same banner in March after Trump's infamous meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House. But it was subsequently taken down by the local council.
The shop’s owner, Sarah Venus, told The National that the banner – which features dozens of signatures and anti-Trump messages from both locals and tourists (below) – will remain until this evening.
"Down with Trump and Fascism," wrote one person, for example.
Another added: "Not in my name! Shame on you Donald John."
"No tyrant should be leading our country," said Anita.
It will then be taken on a tour of the island, making an appearance at various prominent locations.
Trump is expected to visit both his golf clubs north of the Border – in Aberdeenshire and South Ayrshire – during the four-day visit.
He is also set to meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney.
The visit is expected to be met with large scale protests, with the policing operation required to handle it and the visit more generally set to be huge – with Police Scotland seeking officers from other areas of the UK for support.
