The senior officer in charge of the policing plan for Donald Trump’s visit to Scotland this weekend has underlined her force’s “immense experience” in successfully managing US presidential visits as she countered concerns raised by the policing union about unfair pressure on staff.

Trump will open a new 18-hole golf course at his resort on the North Sea coast at Menie, north of Aberdeen, named in honour of his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, who was born on the Isle of Lewis. He is also expected to meet the UK prime minister, Keir Starmer, during his visit.
