Donald Trump is due to arrive in the UK today and visit his Scottish golf courses as police deploy around 5,000 to help enforce a tight ring of steel around the American President.
As well as playing golf at his clubs in Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire during his four-day visit, the MAGA-champ is due to meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Scotland's First Minister John Swinney, ahead of his state visit to the UK in September where he is set to met the King.
His visit is a world away from the controversy in the US where Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is grilling Ghislaine Maxwell over her associations with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. She is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in a scheme to abuse minors.
A huge operation is underway in Turnberry in Ayrshire ahead of the controversial US President's visit.
A 10ft metal barrier has been put up, sparking complaints that the usually-quiet area now looks like an "American prison".
Huge protests are expected over the weekend as Mr Trump touches down in the UK on a personal visit.
Sniper teams and road checkpoints are visible in the usually-quiet rural setting north of the border.
Donald Trump will be hoping for a few days of peace in Scotland this weekend - while back home his backers have started to talk about whether the Epstein files could lead to his downfall.
Privately, even some of the President's most loyal supporters in Washington are privately discussing the possibility that the revelations to come could lead to him being impeached for a third time.
