Protests erupted across Scotland as President Donald Trump visited the country, with demonstrators gathering in cities such as Edinburgh and Aberdeen to voice their opposition. Protesters criticized both Trump and United Kingdom leaders, accusing them of prioritizing trade deals over human rights and expressing disapproval of Trump's policies and recent criminal conviction. Despite the demonstrations, Trump spent the day playing golf at his Turnberry resort, largely shielded from the protests by tight security.

The rallies featured creative signs, costumes, and speeches condemning Trump's presence and political stances, with some participants highlighting his Scottish roots and expressing disappointment in the country's association with him. While police reported a few arrests at unrelated events, the protests themselves remained largely peaceful. Trump is expected to continue his visit with more golf and meetings with political leaders before returning to Washington.
