President Trump at Turnberry as protests continue

US President Donald Trump is expected to play golf at his resort in Ayrshire later as further protests against his visit to the UK take place.

The US president arrived in Scotland on Friday evening after completing his two-day "working trip".

A paragliding protester appeared to breach security around the president by flying close to the Turnberry Hotel.

A "national demonstration" is due take place at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh on Saturday.

Mr. Trump - whose mother was Scottish - and his wife Melania are spending the weekend at his Turnberry hotel.

The president's visit to Scotland has been accompanied by a major security operation. Police insisted they wanted to strike a balance between "protection and public safety and the public's right to peacefully protest".

Ahead of his Turnberry arrival, police snipers were positioned on tiers of temporary scaffolding overlooking the golf course, with a large number of other officers patrolling the grounds and surrounding area.

After President Trump entered his golf resort, a paraglider from environmental group Greenpeace was seen flying nearby.

The aircraft held a banner reading: "Trump: well below par #resist".

Police have confirmed that they are trying to trace the individual involved.

In Edinburgh later, protesters are expected to walk to the Meadows for a "carnival of resistance".
