Overview

  • Trump will officially inaugurate the new MacLeod Course at his Trump International Scotland resort on July 25, marking the launch of his second Aberdeenshire golf link.
  • He plans to revisit his Turnberry resort in Ayrshire and highlight his Scottish heritage through his late mother’s Isle of Lewis roots.
  • Police Scotland has mounted a large-scale security operation anticipating protests from Aberdeen to Edinburgh that could stretch regional resources.
  • Private talks are scheduled with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and First Minister John Swinney to discuss refining trade agreements and strengthening bilateral ties.
  • His Scottish ventures recorded a £1.4 million loss in 2023 and have long been mired in disputes over sand-dune conservation and offshore wind developments.
