Is Trump Scotland's friend?

As Donald Trump returns to the White House, the team discuss whether the President’s links to Scotland can be exploited. With Martin Geissler and Laura Miller.

Donald Trump is back in the White House: can the president’s family and business links to Scotland be exploited?

We ask Torcuil Crichton, the Labour MP for the Western Isles who has invited President Trump to his mother’s birthplace of Lewis, and the ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s Scotland Correspondent David Wallace Lockhart.

And Martin and Laura Miller explore the rights and wrongs of pronouncing ‘Scotcast’ with a glottal stop.
