Overview

  • He is expected to arrive at Prestwick Airport on Friday evening to begin visits to his Turnberry and Menie golf resorts in Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire.
  • He is set to officially open the MacLeod Course at Menie, the second 18-hole layout at his Aberdeenshire resort named in honour of his mother.
  • He is due to hold talks with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and First Minister John Swinney to refine the UK-US trade deal on steel tariffs and digital services tax.
  • Police Scotland has deployed thousands of officers from local, national and specialist units, supported by forces across the UK, to facilitate peaceful demonstrations.
  • Long-standing opposition from residents and conservationists over dune protection at the Menie estate and unfulfilled development promises has fuelled the planned protests.
