FORMER President Barack Obama has arrived in Scotland ahead of delivering a speech at a charity dinner.
Mr Obama was spotted arriving in a small private jet at Edinburgh Airport just after 8am.
Dressed in casual sports gear and wearing white trainers he looked relaxed and took time to speak with people outside the plane.
One onlooker said "I was just parked up and seen the police arrive and I thought something was going on.
"Then I noticed a small jet with a police car parked in front of it.
"I didn't have a clue what was going on and then Barrack just walked out the plane.
