DONALD Trump's plane has landed in Scotland just days after his Turnberry golf resort was vandalised.
The US President's private aircraft has touched down at Edinburgh Airport this morning.
It's understood his son Eric, who took over the running of Mr Trump's golfing affairs in 2017, is here on a pre-planned trip that was arranged before the vandalism took place.
It's also believe that it is not linked to any state visit by President Trump.
Just before 9am, one user wrote on X: "N757AF, Trumps non-presidential aircraft aka 'Trump Force One' is currently NW of Ireland en route to Edinburgh Airport."
It's understood the plane will be heading to Prestwick later on.
It comes after shocking expletives and derogatory insults were scrawled in red paint across the Ayrshire coastal resort, in a brutal swipe at the US President.
The exterior of the resort's clubhouse was splattered with red paint all over the walls and windows while F*** Trump was sprayed on the lavish entrance gates.
'Gaza is not for sale' was also sprayed across the course with at least four of its perfectly manicured greens were dug up.
"GAZA IS NOT FOR SALE" was sprayed across the lawn and the golf course's holes were dug up.
Cops revealed yesterday that a 33-year-old was held in connection with the incident at Trump Turnberry on Sunday March 8.
Trump Turnberry previously branded the attacks "childish".
A spokesman added: “This was a childish, criminal act but the incredible team at Trump Turnberry will ensure it does not impact business.
"Turnberry is a national treasure and will continue to be the number one beacon of luxury and excellence in the world of golf.”
Mr Trump maintains his Scottish roots with his ownership of the golf resort, Trump Turnberry, Ayrshire, and Trump International, in Aberdeenshire.
His mother Mary Anne MacLeod grew up three miles away from Stornoway, with Trump describing her birthplace as “serious Scotland”.
Mary left Lewis for New York to seek work as a domestic servant emigrating to New York in the 1930s on the RMS Transylvania.
She became a US citizen in 1942, before moving to Queens with Frederick Trump, where she raised her five children.
Last year, Eric Trump said the Scottish Government had made it "virtually impossible" to do business in the country.
He suggested that it was only his family's "love" for the country that kept them investing.
