There will be a ‘festival of resistance’,organised by the Scottish wing of the Stop Trump Coalition.

This will kick off a day after his arrival – on Saturday – and will be held in Edinburgh,Aberdeen and Dumfries.

An Ipsos poll in March found that about 70% of Scots have an unfavorable opinion of Trump,while 18% have a favorable opinion.

The protests will be the prelude for even larger demonstrations in London planned by the group when Trump lands on his state visit in September.

There are also plans to relaunch the Donald Trump baby balloon,which became a symbol of protests against the controversial leader on his first state visit in July 2018.
