Plane Sightings Fuel Rumors Trump Planning Escape to Scotland on Day Before Biden Inauguration

[Embedded content]

Layover before he heads to Moscow?

From the Sunday Post article linked in the Daily Beast article:

If Trump does fly to Scotland he could be in breach of coronavirus restrictions. Trump Turnberry is effectively closed until February 5 due to Tier 4 rules, according to the resort’s website.

Slightly more nuanced version of this from an article in The National.:

The course is currently closed because of the coronavirus pandemic,

The resort says that they will remain closed until Friday February 5, 2021, “to ensure the health and safety of our guests and associates”.

Currently, under Level 4 restrictions, golf clubs can still allow groups of up to four golfers with no restrictions on number of households to play.

Though, club houses and shops must all close.

… But that was before Scotland’s First Minister announced a full lockdown in Scotland, effective midnight tonight.

[First Minister Nicola Sturgeon] says from tomorrow only a maximum of two people, from two households, will be able to meet outdoors. Children aged 11 and under will not be included, she says.

Non-essential travel into and out of Scotland will not be allowed, she says.

The measures will last till Feb 1st, at the earliest. If Donald Trump is really planning to come over to Scotland, his timing couldn’t be worse.
