Police Scotland Gears Up for Possible JD Vance Visit
So, here’s the situation. Police Scotland is quietly but seriously preparing for the possibility that US Vice President JD Vance might be making a trip to Scotland sometime soon. While nothing has been officially confirmed by the White House, the police aren’t taking any chances — they’ve already started planning what they describe as a “significant policing operation” to ensure everything runs smoothly.
The potential visit is said to be a private one, with Vance traveling alongside his family. It’s understood that Ayrshire could be one of his stops later this week. This comes not long after President Donald Trump was in Scotland, making headlines while golfing at his courses in Turnberry and Aberdeenshire. The timing, naturally, has caught people’s attention.

Just last week, Vance was in Kent, staying at Chevening House, the official residence of the UK’s foreign secretary. He also took some time in the Cotswolds before meeting with Foreign Secretary David Lammy. Their meeting wasn’t just political — the two even went carp fishing together. But in that same visit, Vance stirred up a bit of diplomatic tension by questioning the UK’s plans to recognize a Palestinian state.
This isn’t the first time Vance has made waves in UK politics. Earlier this year, he criticized Scotland’s newly introduced buffer zones around abortion clinics, claiming that such laws limit free speech and even suggesting that private prayer could be criminalized under them. Those remarks were swiftly called out by Scottish Green MSP Gillian Mackay, who accused him of spreading “shocking and shameless misinformation.”
Despite these controversies, Vance has often spoken warmly about his ancestral ties to Scotland, describing himself as a “Scots-Irish hillbilly at heart.” His family’s roots stretch back over 300 years to immigrants who moved from Scotland to the Appalachian region of the United States.
The Scottish government has said they are working closely with both the UK government and Police Scotland to manage the possible visit’s impact. While official confirmation is still pending, the preparations — and the political chatter — suggest that the vice president’s presence would be a notable event, attracting both attention and debate.
Whether the trip will remain a quiet family holiday or turn into another politically charged moment is still up in the air, but one thing’s certain: Scotland is getting ready.
