Police have confirmed they are preparing for a potential visit by US President Donald Trump to Scotland later this month.
He is expected to visit his new golf course in Aberdeenshire when it opens, though it is understood there will be no private meeting with King Charles.
Trump will also make a full state visit to the UK later in the year, most likely in September.
Assistant chief constable Emma Bond of Police Scotland said: "Planning is under way for a potential visit to Scotland later this month by the President of the United States.
"While official confirmation has not yet been made, it is important that we prepare in advance for what would be a significant policing operation."
