Golfing is a non-essential purpose for traveling, they said: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...tion-scotland-sturgeon-lockdown-b1782602.html "Donald Trump will not be allowed to visit Scotland to play golf during Joe Biden's inauguration, Nicola Sturgeon has said. The US president, who was overwhelmingly defeated in November's election, is reportedly considering travelling to his Turnberry golf resort to avoid Mr Biden being sworn into office. But Scotland's first minister stressed it is illegal to travel in or out of the country without a valid reason and said: "Coming to play golf is not what I would consider to be an essential purpose."
So Trump goes somewhere else and the Scots lose all the revenue from the trip. Brilliant. They sure showed Trump!
