The BBC reports:
Former US President Donald Trump has said “it is great to be home” as he arrived in Aberdeen on a visit to his Scottish golf properties. It is Mr Trump’s first visit to the UK since 2019 after leaving office.
He attended a ceremony to break ground on a new course at his Aberdeenshire resort, Trump International Scotland. Mr Trump, whose mother was from the Isle of Lewis, sparked a security operation on a 2018 visit with protests in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
Mr Trump, who is running for the White House again in 2024, is visiting Scotland as a private individual. It is understood there is no requirement on the Scottish or UK governments to pay for special security.
