Description

Donald Trump’s mother Mary Anne MacLeod was born on the Hebridean island of Lewis. Like many islanders of her time she headed as a young woman across the Atlantic where she met and married Fred Trump.

The US President is expected to make a private visit to his ancestral home this month to visit his golf course on Scotland's east coast.

In Aberdeenshire there’s a long history of dispute between the President and the locals about his controversial golf courses and his will to rid the Scottish horizon of off-shore wind farms.
