If American President Donald Trump was expecting a happy welcoming party from Scotland, he was sadly disappointed.
Crowds appeared carrying signs protesting the American President. With slogans like "Democracy dies when we stay silent" and "veto the cheeto". Pictures showing Trump alongside Jefferey Epstein were especially prevalent.
The American President was there to golf at his Turnberry golf course. Meanwhile, hundreds of protestors nearby could be heard chanting and yelling.
People in Edinburg were holding up signs and bagpipes were playing.

“This immigration is killing Europe,” Mr. Trump said. “And the other thing, stop the windmills. Killing the beauty of your countries.”
On Saturday, the Scots, who opinion polls show have low regard for Mr. Trump, let their opposition to his policies be known.
A group called Stop Trump Scotland organized a rally as a “festival of resistance” against Mr. Trump that drew hundreds in Aberdeen, in Scotland’s north, and Edinburgh.
Protesters carried signs objecting to Mr. Trump’s policies, from the environment and immigration to trade and the war in Gaza. Several held signs invoking the current controversy circling around Mr. Trump: his administration’s handling of the so-called Epstein files, the records that pertain to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
At the Edinburgh protest, one woman held a sign that contained nine photos of Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein together over the years, along with the words “Best Friends Forever.”
Best friends forever indeed.
