Trump arrives in Scotland to visit his golf resort

AYRSHIRE, Scotland (AP) Donald Trump is visiting his golf resort in Scotland, landing via helicopter just hours after the United Kingdom voted to leave to European Union.

Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has traveled to Scotland to mark the opening of the Turnberry golf resort, which he purchased two years ago and spent more than $300 million rehabilitating.

He was greeted Friday by a pair of bagpipers and dozens of resort staff members wearing ''Make Turnberry Great Again'' hats.

This is Trump's first international trip since sealing sufficient delegate support to be the GOP standard-bearer this fall. The timing of the trip has raised eyebrows among some fellow Republicans as it comes amid a rocky stretch for his campaign.
