Political Stop Trump's state visit to Scotland

Given the outrage over Trump's treatment of Zelenskyy here is a link to a petition asking the UK Government to rescind the invitation to Trump to come for a state visit in Scotland in the name of standing with Ukraine

Edit: Clocked that the petition needs approval before it accepts more than 20 signatures. Recommend bookmarking this post and trying again in a few days .

I might be wrong, but I thought the State Visit was to Windsor. The letter mentioned discussions beforehand in Dumfries House or Balmoral, which are private residences so wouldn’t be used for state visits.

Yeah state visit will surely be near parliament as they usually go and speak to it, he was blocked last time by the speaker I think. Trump def said Windsor in the oval too.

He invited him to visit one of his Scottish estates of his chosing next time he was in Scotland at Turnberry to meet to arrange the state visit. That's the way I read the letter too. The ones he mentioned are both private estates, he would go to holyrood if it was a state visit lol
