Glasgow: US President Donald Trump played golf on Saturday at his course on the western coast of Scotland, ignoring protesters who booed him.

Demonstrators on the beach below Trump's Turnberry resort chanted loudly "no Trump, no racist USA" when the US president and his son, Eric, came within view.

Trump, who had plenty of bodyguards on hand, appeared to taunt protesters by waving and smiling at them before continuing with his game.

"I'm here as a quiet protester to say: I really don't want this man in our country," said Graham Creelman, 70, who joined the protest on the beach.

"The government needs to take a stand against appalling attitudes and appalling behaviour, and we're not doing it."
