The British military and police have shut down a Scottish town for Donald Trump’s visit. The town of Ayr has been in lockdown for several days ahead of the president’s visit to his Turnberry golf course on Saturday, with swathes of soldiers in camouflage green seen searching the grounds. Sir Keir Starmer is expected to make the trip north on Monday ahead of an official meeting with the US president. The small village of Turnberry, close to the course, has seen its population swell with the arrival of security officials and a large police presence. Road closures and diversions have been put in place, while a security checkpoint outside the resort and a large fence have been erected around the side of the course. Police vans have also been arriving at the Menie site, with diversions on minor roads directing drivers away from the resort. Mr Trump drew crowds to Prestwick Airport on Friday night as Air Force One touched down ahead of a four-day visit that will also take him to the club his family owns in Aberdeenshire. After a round of golf at Trump Turnberry, the president is scheduled to meet with Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission president, on Sunday. Mr Trump drew crowds to Prestwick Airport on Friday evening as Air Force One touched down ahead of a four-day visit that will also take him to the club his family owns in Aberdeenshire. After he landed in Ayrshire, the US president took aim at Europe about policies on immigration, saying they needed to “get their act together”. He also praised Sir Keir, who he described as a “good man”, who is “slightly more liberal than I am”. Mr Trump last visited Turnberry, which he bought from a Dubai-based firm in 2014, two years ago. But not all Scots are happy about Mr Trump’s visit, with The Stop Trump Coalition planning demonstrations in Edinburgh, near the American consulate, and another in Aberdeen in the days before his visit there. Saturday will be the first real test of Police Scotland during the visit as it looks to control the demonstrations, as well as any that spring up near the president’s course. The force has asked for support from others around the UK to bolster officer numbers, with both organisations representing senior officers and the rank-and-file claiming there is likely to be an impact on policing across the country for the duration of the visit. First Minister John Swinney - who is also set to meet with the president during his time in Scotland - has urged Scots to protest “peacefully and within the law”.
