It was a busy day for news in Scotland yesterday as US President Donald Trump’s Scotland visit continues.
Mr Trump first met with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at Turnberry in South Ayrshire, before the pair travelled to Menie in Aberdeenshire for a private visit. Dozens of anti-Trump protesters were out and about in Balmedie to welcome their arrival.
Meanwhile, Scottish First Minister John Swinney revealed his pathway to independence after touring the Kelpies in Falkirk with Scottish Canals CEO John Paterson.
Then, further up north King Charles III was in Thurso to mark the 70th anniversary of the Dounreay Nuclear site at Scrabster Harbour.
