Donald Trump's UK visit has already seen tens of thousands take to the streets, a giant angry baby blimp mocking him and some of the most inventive signs around.
And that's before we even get to Scotland, proud home of the angriest, most foul-mouthed and most creative protestors in the UK.
The US president is spending the weekend on his Turnberry resort, where he tweeted that he will play golf, attend meetings and make phone calls, before flying to Helsinki for a meeting with Vladmir Putin.
To mark the occasion, we've put together some of the best Scottish signs from anti-Trump protests.
1. Pointing out the obvious just sounds so much better in Scottish.
