US President Donald Trump will fly into Scotland today for a private visit to the land where his mother was born and spent her childhood on the remote Isle of Lewis.

"It's great to be home, this was the home of my mother," he said when he arrived on his last visit in 2023.

Born Mary Anne MacLeod, Trump's mum emigrated to the US when she was 18. She then met and married Fred Trump, kick-starting the family's meteoric rise that has led their son, Donald, all the way to the White House.

During his visit, the president, who is six months into his second term, plans to officially open his latest golf course in northeastern Aberdeen - making him the owner of three such links in Scotland.
