  • A significant security operation is underway at Donald Trump's Trump Turnberry golf resort in South Ayrshire following his arrival in Scotland.
  • Police and military personnel are conducting searches at the resort, with road closures implemented and limited access for locals and media.
  • Trump arrived in Scotland on Friday night, landing at Prestwick Airport, and is expected to spend much of his initial day golfing.
  • Scheduled meetings include European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on Sunday and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Monday, with First Minister John Swinney also set to meet him.
  • Protests organised by the Stop Trump Coalition are anticipated in Edinburgh and Aberdeen, prompting Police Scotland to prepare for demonstrations and request support from other UK forces, leading to the redeployment of 1,500 officers from England and Wales.
