The unwelcome guest

Send him to Scotland to keep him out of the way?  The Guardian reports:
Donald Trump is expected to head to Scotland after his visit to London on 13 July to play golf with a high quality professional golfer or possibly a member of the royal family.
The president is being offered a range of low handicap golfers as a part of a UK government bid to make the visit as pleasurable as possible for him.
Trump owns two golf courses in Scotland, and his visit to the UK following a Nato summit will give him a chance to relax in the surroundings that give him greatest pleasure. British officials have recognised he is a serious golfer and will need an expert opponent to keep him entertained.
The trip is likely to include a meeting with the Queen, but at the same time efforts are being made to ensure that he does not encounter a series of protests in London. One option will be for the president to meet Theresa May outside London, such as at the prime minister’s rural retreat in Chequers.
Do they think that he won't encounter protests in Scotland?
