Donald Trump has never been shy about bragging about his connections with Scotland – from his Scottish mother and beloved golf courses, to his frequent public spats with politicians and environmentalists.
The creation of the Trump International Golf Links on the old Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire was beset by furious legal battles that saw him threaten to pull out – only to end up buying the Turnberry hotel and golf course as well.
Trump lost the 2020 Presidential election to Joe Biden in 2020 but completed his unlikely return to the White House following a landslide win over Democrat candidate Kamala Harris at the ballot box last year.
Ahead of an official state visit later this year, President Trump will be arriving in Scotland on Friday (July 25) for five days to visit both his golf courses - as well as meeting with both Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and First Minister John Swinney.
Here are 22 things the politician and businessman has said about Scotland.

14. Donald Trump on...the Open returning to Turnberry
“Everybody wants Turnberry but we are being a little bit careful with Turnberry. They want to, I can tell you they want to come back. The Open wants to come back. It is rated the No 1 course in Europe now. We did a big surgery and it has gotten great reviews, even from people who hate me. They want the Open to go back.” | AFP via Getty Images
15. Donald Trump on...why he chose to build a golf course in Aberdeenshire
"My preference was Scotland over any other country, because I am half Scottish - my mother, Mary MacLeod, is from Stornoway. When I saw this piece of land I was overwhelmed by the imposing dunes and rugged Aberdeenshire coastline. I knew that this was the perfect site. The complex will cover a large area of sand dunes. I have never seen such an unspoilt and dramatic seaside landscape, and the location makes it perfect for our development." | Getty Images
