President Joe Biden was flashed by a “large, naked Scottish man” snapping a photo of his imposing motorcade as he left his Edinburgh hotel on the way to the COP26 conference.
The White House pool team of reporters following the POTUS on his trip to the global climate summit in Scotland noted the enthusiastic photographer standing in the buff at his living room window.
Biden’s convoy, which contained the presidential ‘Beast’ limousine, whizzed past the man’s home en route to day two of the UN meeting on climate change at the SEC in Glasgow after leaving the Dalmahoy Hotel in Edinburgh.
According to the White House pool, which contains representatives from the Los Angeles Times, The Associated Press, Reuters and Bloomberg: “At one point when we were still on smaller country roads, a large, naked Scottish man stood in his front window taking a picture of the motorcade with his phone."
It is unclear exactly where on the road between the two cities the incident took place or whether the president caught a glimpse of the exuberant member of the public.

Edinburgh Live reported yesterday how Mr Biden's luxurious hotel had been specially fortified with added security measures including sniper positions and a makeshift 'nerve centre' contained within the wine cellar.
Secret service agents have also been spotted around the perimeter of the hotel on the outskirts of the Capital, while a convoy of more than 40 vehicles assembled for the journey at around 8:40am on Tuesday morning.
