President Trump waved at a group of shouting protesters as he hit the links Saturday at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, his closest encounter with the tens of thousands of people who have demonstrated against him during his UK visit.

A dozen hecklers were positioned on the beach 100 yards away from the green, a clutch of police officers separating them from a presidential foursome that included Trump’s son Eric.

Meanwhile, an estimated 10,000 anti-Trump demonstrators marched in Edinburgh.

The 20-foot-tall “Trump Baby” balloon that debuted in London Thursday made an appearance over The Meadows, a public park about a mile away from the Scottish Parliament.

Scottish officials quashed plans to fly the miniature blimp outside the golf course, citing airspace restrictions.

Police were still seeking the Greenpeace paraglider who defied those rules Friday night to sail over the resort with a banner reading “Trump: well below par” in all caps.

The provocative pilot flew so close that the president was forced to duck indoors for cover – breaching a no-fly zone and committing a criminal offense, police said.
