Campaigners are planning to fly the Donald Trump baby blimp at Holyrood this weekend.

The 20ft inflatable depicting the US president as a nappy-clad baby holding a mobile phone was displayed above Parliament Square in London on Friday.

It prompted Mr Trump to say it made him "feel unwelcome" in the city, on his second day of a four-day UK visit.

Campaigners have now confirmed they plan to transport the blimp to Scotland overnight on the sleeper train and fly it at a protest near the Scottish Parliament on Saturday.

Protester Leo Murray, one of the blimp's "babysitters", said: "After the Trump Baby's flight over the Houses of Parliament on Friday we're thrilled to be bringing the Trump Baby to do the same thing at Holyrood.

"We were inundated with messages from friends and allies in Scotland asking us to bring Trump Baby up, so we really wanted to make sure that he could be a part of the amazing spread of protests taking place over the weekend.

"Trump's politics are dangerous and divisive, and the baby balloon has been a tremendous success in highlighting the racism, misogyny and xenophobia in the 'toddler in chief's' presidency."

The group's previous attempt to have the blimp fly above the Trump Turnberry golf course as the president visits there this weekend were blocked due to airspace restrictions.

Final confirmation of permission to launch it near Holyrood is awaited.

The US president is due to travel to Scotland on Friday evening after meeting the Queen at Windsor Castle, and he is expected to spend the weekend at his Trump Turnberry golf resort in South Ayrshire.

Several demonstrations are planned to coincide with the private Scottish leg of his UK visit.

Campaigners will demonstrate against Trump administration policies, including the travel ban and separation and detention of migrant children and their families at the Mexico-US border.

Senior political figures will speak at a rally in Glasgow's George Square on Friday night.

Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard and former government minister and current SNP depute leader Keith Brown will make speeches telling demonstrators that Mr Trump is not welcome in Scotland and the country stands united against him.

Speakers from the Scottish Abortion Rights Campaign, the Muslim Council of Scotland and Rape Crisis Scotland are also among those lined up to make speeches.

A national demonstration is to be held at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh on Saturday, along with a "Carnival of Resistance" in the Meadows area of the capital.

Campaigners will also gather outside the Trump International Golf Links in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, on Saturday, and it is predicted there could be further demonstrations at Trump Turnberry where the president is expected to play golf.

Proposals to fly a 20ft blimp depicting Donald Trump as a baby over Turnberry were shut down by police on Thursday.
