The Trumps are spending the weekend at the President's Scottish golf resort as UK protests continue

Edinburgh, Scotland (CNN)President Donald Trump is spending Saturday at his Turnberry golf resort in southwestern Scotland as protests continued against his visit to the United Kingdom.

Demonstrators marched from the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh past the US Consulate to the Meadows, a large public park, for a "Carnival of Resistance."

Protesters of all ages carried signs with messages such as "dump Trump" and "Tweet this!" as they processed peacefully through Edinburgh's streets. Police estimated that roughly 5,000 people had joined the march.

A giant "Trump baby" balloon -- which floated outside the UK Parliament in London on Friday morning -- was on display again at the Meadows.

The "Trump baby" balloon is floated Saturday at the Meadows, a public park in Edinburgh.

Protester Paul Trotter from Edinburgh told CNN: "I think Trump represents everything we try to teach our children is wrong. This is why we are out today. You can't trust him. I wouldn't employ him -- would you?"

Turnberry: The little bit of Britain that belongs to Donald Trump

Kirsty Haigh, one of main protest organizers, told CNN the demonstration was intended to show that Trump and his policies were not welcome in Scotland -- and that the UK government should not seek to follow his lead.

Haigh added that Trump, whose mother was Scottish, liked to bring up "all his Scottish connections" but that the feeling was not reciprocated. "The idea that we in Scotland appreciate his politics and appreciate him is fairly laughable," she said.

Frances Worley-Watt, a 35-year-old from Atlanta, attended the protest with her Scottish husband, Garry Worley-Watt, and their daughter Kitty.

"I have lived in Edinburgh for six years; my daughter has joint US-UK citizenship, so I care about what Trump is doing very much," she said. "I have seen the marches in the US on TV and have been there in spirit, so I wanted to use this opportunity to march in solidarity."

Trump hopes to golf

Trump is staying at his Turnberry property with first lady Melania Trump as he prepares for a summit Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland.

This portion of the Trumps' trip to Britain is private, and the couple have no scheduled public events. The US President has often spoken of his affection for Scotland.

He tweeted Saturday: "I have arrived in Scotland and will be at Trump Turnberry for two days of meetings, calls and hopefully, some golf - my primary form of exercise! The weather is beautiful, and this place is incredible!"

As a private citizen, Trump slammed President Barack Obama for hitting the links and made it a campaign issue. However, since being in office himself, Trump has spent more than 100 days at a golf club that bears his name, according to a CNN count.

A BBC reporter, Frankie McCamley, caught footage of what appeared to be Trump golfing as protesters shouted, "No Trump, no KKK, no racist USA." The President seemed to wave at the crowd before turning back to his golf game.
