PROTESTS against US president Donald Trump have started in Aberdeen with Scottish Greens MSPs in attendance.
Demonstrators have gathered in Union Terrace Gardens with various placards, including several pointing out his previous friendship with disgraced paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
See some pictures from the protest below as Scots voice their anger over the president’s four-day visit to his Turnberry and Menie estates.
"We say 'no' to the genocide in Palestine, and we say 'no' any politician who says that their politics has to be built on hate, has to be built on division, and has to be built on enriching the billionaires while the majority of the rest of the world starve”, Chapman said.
“Not in our name. Never in our name. That is why we are here today.”
Trump arrived at Prestwick Airport on Friday evening before heading to the Turnberry estate in South Ayrshire.
He is expected to visit his Menie estate before opening a new course dedicated to his mother, Mary Anne Macleod, who was raised on the Isle of Lewis.
Lewis residents have also taken a stance against the convicted felon, with vintage and home décor store Lewis Revival displaying a banner reading “Shame on you, Donald John”, signed by locals and tourists alike.
The business, based just miles away from his mother’s birthplace, previously displayed the banner in March after Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, though it was subsequently removed by the local council.
Elsewhere, protests have started in Edinburgh outside of the US Consulate.
Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie and MSP Ross Greer are set to attend the demonstration in the capital, after the party issued fresh calls for Trump’s finances to be investigated by the Scottish Government through an Unexplained Wealth Order.
