The presidential candidate has often championed his family connections to, and love of, the Scottish - but what do they make of him?

As the US election enters its final stretch, millions across the globe are anxiously calculating how a possible win for Donald Trump could impact their own nation's foreign policies and trade opportunities.

Speaking on Andrew Schulz's ‘Flagrant with Akaash Singh’ podcast recently, Trump praised his mother’s bubbly personality, which he claimed matched the broader Scottish temperament. However, not all Scots are fans of the former president. Over the years Trump’s golf course empire has proved controversial among Scottish residents and campaigners, some of whom welcome the economic opportunities the developments bring, and others who brand them a social and environmental disaster.

Forbes and his elderly mother were left without water for five years when construction works on a road for the golf course burst a water pipe and Trump’s builders refused to replace it.
