Former US president Donald Trump has announced he will dedicate his new golf course to his Scots-born mum. The 45th president made the announcement after touching down at Aberdeen Airport on Monday morning with his son Eric, where he was met by two pipers, a red carpet and a 10-vehicle motorcade.

Trump is in Scotland to cut the ribbon on a second golf course at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire after the controversial development was given the go-head in October 2020, despite an outcry from residents.

He announced that work on his new MacLeod course – dedicated to his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod – was now beginning. Mary was born on the Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles before emigrating to the US.Trump broke ground on the new course at Trump International Scotland in Aberdeenshire, cutting a ceremonial red ribbon to mark the occasion.He said: “We are going to build a great golf course that aims to replicate the outstanding championship links we already have here and many believe to be the greatest golf course in the world.“We will build a course that will be fit to host many great championships in the future along with our championship links.

We’ve had a lot of pleasure in working on this land and there is no other land like it. We have incredible views by the sea and there are no other dunes like these in the world.
