Voting is under way across the country in

Donald Trump is expected in Scotland tomorrow for the official opening

I am at Turnberry where security is tight and hundreds of protesters are

expected tomorrow. Another day of disruption

on the railways, as the RMT strikes Sheep, cows and even sunshine -

how the Royal Highland Show draws in big crowds,

and big money. The 97-year-old Lakota elder

and the Aberdonian film director who brought a film about native

Americans to the big screen. After weeks of campaigning,

voting has been going on all day Almost four million

Scots can take part - with the polls closing

at 10pm this evening. Voters are being asked to take

an historic decision - whether the UK should remain

in, or leave the EU. Our political correspondent,

Andrew Kerr has more. It's the fifth time we have been to

the ballot box in just two years so it's a well worn path. The First

Minister Nicola Sturgeon cast her vote in Glasgow. She is wanting the

UK to remain in the EU. But over in Kinghorn in Fife, the leader of Ukip

in Scotland David Coburn was urging a Leave wrote. This is the question

voters are facing, almost 4 million Scots are eligible to take part.

This is the hall in Grangemouth where Scotland's national

declaration will be made. In fact it will come from this very podium.

It's a very different process from Westminster general election, a

Scottish parliamentary election or even the Scottish independence

referendum. Voting is done at a council area level so each of the 32

councils were conducted own polling today and their own count tonight.

Then they get fed into me as the counting officer for Scotland, all

of the local portals, and then I pass them onto the chief accounting

officer who will be based in Manchester tonight. And when might

we get the Scottish result and the overall UK result? Breakfast time,

we are told. It will be an historic decision taken by voters in Scotland

and the rest of UK. And there's a comprehensive results

programme here on BBC 1, beginning just before polls close

at 10pm tonight and continuing It will include regular updates

from Glenn Campbell on the way You can also keep up on radio,

and online, and we'll bring you the full result

in tomorrow's Reporting Scotland. Hundreds of protesters

are expected to gather at Donald Trump's Turnberry Golf

resort tomorrow as the presidential hopeful flies in for

its official relaunch. He's spent millions of pounds

upgrading the Ayrshire course and hotel -

but his hardline views on Muslims and Mexicans have led

to widespread criticism. Our Business Correspondent, David

Henderson is at Turnberry tonight. Security is very tight here ahead of

that flying visit by Donald Trump, he is here to talk about this place,

Trump Turnberry, after that multi-million dollar makeover. But

after all he has said in the race for the White House it's his

politics which are yet again coming under the spotlight. Some warn that

after all he has said, regardless of how good this place is, it stands no

chance of hosting a major golf tournament any time soon. He's no

stranger to Scotland. And no stranger to controversy. He is proud

of his Scottish heritage. He showed that when he dropped in at his mum

's old house in Lewes. But with controversial views like this...

They are bringing drugs, they are bringing crime, they are rapists. He

has plenty of enemies. My judgment is he's not the kind of person

suitable to represent Scotland. But he knows money talks. He bought

Turnberry two years ago for ?35 million. He's invested millions in a

new clubhouse and resort, refurbishing over 100 hotel rooms.

The chandeliers named after his daughter, at the bar there is Trump

champagne. Or a dram of Trump whiskey. Local politicians feel it

might be worth putting up with Donald Trump for Trump Turnberry.

None of his comments in his bid to be the presidents of the negative

states do I agree with. But he's made an economic investment in this

area and that's important in terms of the jobs that it brings and the

opportunities it brings the local people. Donald J Trump is calling

for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.

It's his hard-line views which cause alarm and has funded Muslim leaders

here to ask him to visit. If he knew what Islam was really about, if he

interacted with us a bit more he might realise that the comments he

is making are very, very dangerous. So what chance does Turnberry have

of hosting another big event like this classic open? The whole course

has been transformed but is that enough? Turnberry, fantastic but on

the negative side are his divisive comments on race, women,

immigration. No golf body in the world at the moment could take an

event to a Trump course. So sport and politics don't mix well, even

for Donald Trump. And spending big at Turnberry might not bring him

quite the return he is after. Trump Turnberry is ready to welcome

golfing tourists, you might be able to hear the bagpipes behind me, in

conditions like this it's not hard to see why this is rated by many

golfers as one of the finest links courses anywhere in the world. But

before those tourists get here, those bus-loads of protesters will

have had their say. Most of them don't care about golf, instead they

are here to make sure Donald Trump loses the play-off for the biggest

prize in world politics, the keys to the White House.

There's been further disruption to rail services at Scotrail,

after members of the RMT union walked out for the second

The dispute centres on the role of guards on trains.

Our reporter Lisa Summers is at Haymarket station in Edinburgh

At the moment around 60% of travellers who get on a train will

get on a driver only operated train, they are responsible for getting

passengers on and off and they will be a ticket examiner. The rest of

the trains will have conductor, who are highly trained and highly

skilled. The RMT say they are worried as we move towards

electrification and newer rolling stock that the role of the conductor

will be phased out and that's a real safety concern. ScotRail on the

other hand say there are no safety issues and there is no threat to

jobs. What they have done late this afternoon is put forward a

proposal which would guarantee the role of a third of the conductors in

Scotland as this upgrading takes place. The talks they propose will

take place on Monday and they want that to see an end to the unions

take place on Monday and they want planned strike action. The RMT must

put aside the strike days and put aside their

preconditions. As late as this afternoon I have put forward a

proposal to the RMT that allows us to look for a

solution for all of those conductors that will never be affected by how

solution for all of those conductors electric trains operate.

Bay remain to be convinced, they want more clarity on the nature of

these talks. In the meantime they say strike action plan for the

weekend will go ahead, but of course it's the traveller, the passenger

that has to put up with this disruption and has been plenty of

that today, many services. Operating at 7pm, some have been cancelled

altogether. Advice is if you are planning on travelling then check

before you travel. You're watching Reporting

Scotland from the BBC. A blot in the centre

of Edinburgh that's blighted But will its redevelopment

prove any more popular? And in sport, what do Rangers

supporters make of their latest signing and all their summer

recruits? And look who is out of the Scotland rugby team for the second

test against Japan. The 176th Royal Highland Show

is underway at Ingliston Around 200,000 people

are expected over Our reporter Willie Johnson

is there. Welcome to this annual showcase of

all that is the best about Scottish farming.

Farming is a ?3 billion industry in Scotland supporting 67,000 jobs

directly and about 350,000 more in the supply chain. It's also an

industry under serious financial and that's the

backdrop against which this show is taking place.

Sunshine start to the show, just the ticket after unrelenting economic

gloom. The daily crisis is well documented, but beef, lamb, pork and

cereal prices are all down as well. Then there is the commuter shambles

which delayed the subsidy checks on which most businesses depend. Some

very, very challenging circumstances. Costs

have continued to rise. In addition to that we have had enormous

challenges in relation to farm support payments. It's survival of

the fittest and those able and prepare to

invest in an uncertain future. Farms in Scotland are reducing in number

but getting bigger in size and so to the kind of kit required to work the

land efficiently. Like this giant combine. Yours for a mere ?320,000.

The Highland is a place to do business but it's also a place to

set worries aside from a few days. A bit of socialising, takes them away

from the troubles at home. And they meet other people and they

learn in that actually they are not the only ones with problems. Other

people have problems as well and that helps. Both distractions and

attractions aplenty for farmers and that helps. Both distractions and

nonfarmers alike. Spent to days here every year. It is

an annual social event, meeting people from young farmers days. New

innovations. It's the Clydesdale horses, that's the best, for me. I

like the food hall! And we like to go around the country games as well.

It's a great day out, for the kids, the weather, when it's good it's

good. The Highland, different faces for different folks.

About 60% of people who come here are not from the farming community

and tens of thousands are from about 300 Scottish girls who come for

visits to learn how food gets from the farm gate to the plate. The show

is about education and as you have heard it's about much more than

that. It is on until Sunday. A 51-year-old man has been

charged with the murder He's expected to appear

at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court tomorrow. He was discovered in Tweed Avenue

on the evening of 28th May. Now a look at other stories

from across the country. NHS Dumfries Galloway has

apologised after eight missed early signs of blood poisoning in women

who collapsed and died a day after being seen in hospital. The

ombudsman found the hospital had since made procedural changes and

given training in the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis. The latest

estimate of the cost of repairing the damage caused by severe winter

weather in the Borders has been put at more than three and a half

million pounds. Scottish water is urging the residents of South Uist

to use their water wisely amid fears of a drought on the island. Just 72

millimetres of rain has fallen since April, Scottish water is to install

and temporary overland pipe to take additional water supplies. The

owners of a Highland zoo ordered to close over serious failings in how

they have been looking after their animals say they will try to stay

open. The local authority 's licensing committee approved the

closure order for the Highland wildlife park following complaints

by the public and inspections by vets. A rodent 200 Norwegian sailors

competing in the 30th Bergen to Shetland yacht race have dropped

anchor in Lerwick harbour. Celebrations are planned over the

weekend to welcome Shetlands nearest Scandinavian neighbours. And for the

second year running a pair of red kites and Angus are stealing

underwear to line their nests. RSPB officials who went along to ring

checks found under pants and socks which the expect were snatched from

the gorge popular with wild swimmers.

But now the St James Centre is being demolished.

The complex of buildings once included the heart

of Scottish Government, as well as shops and an hotel.

But its redevelopment is also proving controversial.

As well as the day-to-day government 's of

most of the complex has been demolished, 300 jobs have been lost.

We are working with the retailers of all the stores, all the store

manners managers. We look to create 3000 jobs going forward. It

outweighs what we are doing today. And ?850 million redevelopment has

been promised. If you look at the Edinburgh skyline

it is made up of some amazing If you look at the Edinburgh skyline

follies and interesting forms and shapes and we feel the development

adds to that. The character which is already there. Ironically late

post-modern buildings are attracting a growing number of supporters.

There is a bit of an international fashion for this architecture, large

concrete buildings and I think no doubt had they survived in their,

the complex as a whole had survived doubt had they survived in their,

in it intact form people, there would have been a lot of people

saying it had some merit. As demolition work begins the arguments

continue. Let's get all the day's main

sport now. The Croatian international Niko

Kranchar is Rangers latest recruit. He's joined on a free transfer

signing a two-year deal. He says he is delighted to join it

team which wants to challenge to win the premiership.

The 31-year-old is their sixth signing

of the summer as manager Mark Warburton continues his

preparations for Rangers return to the top division

This isn't a Polling Station but it's the perfect place for an exit

poll on Rangers latest signing. Niko Cran Shah has 80 caps for Croatia

but missed the 2014 World Cup through injury and hasn't played

much since then. Some signing. Amazing player. He's not played at a

high level for a while so I'm not too sure. I think it's a good deal.

I think Mark Warburton knows what he's doing. Other experienced

players have been drafted in. 37-year-old defender Clint Hill and

dirty feeble Joy Barton, both of whom played with their newest

signing at QPR. Mark Warburton wants it strike what

he called the positive balance between the necessity of experience

and maturity and young, hungry between the necessity of experience

players. That's where young guns, like former Accrington Stanley

midfielder George Windass come in, with other new signings.

A lot of good reports about them, especially roster. He seems to be

something special. So mouth-watering.

Matching experience with use. So it should be a good year for us. In the

Premiership, in the forthcoming season, do you think they can

challenge? Yes, always, eye ready, as you say. They like to celebrate

success at Ibrox. Supporters will hope somebody some of the new intake

can become Rangers' icons in the future.

Now rugby and Scotland play Japan in their second and final test

They've made six changes ahead of the match, three each

And after last week's win, they know the Japanese come

John Beattie reports from one of Japan's iconic landmarks.

The sights and sounds of Tokyo have been beguiling, but there has been

something puzzling the Scots all week. Here is a question for you:

How do you cope with a rugby team that makes you run further and

faster than ever before. Well, that's the challenge that will be

posted for the Japanese, once again this Saturday. They caught us on a

penalty last week and played quickly. We had our backs turn. This

weeks we will have to keep our heads out of the paddock and be aware.

It'll have to be a 23-man effort. We have speed and experience on the

bench. With Shaun Lamont and Greg and some young fallent like hue

Jones. So it is really going to be about keeping the ball for as long

as we can, when we decide it play but getting down the right end of

the paddock as well. One of the six changes is the new

captain and gel kicker, Glasgow's Henry Pyrg o, s It is a huge honour,

getting to captain the side is massive. Luckily I have done it a

few times' now. I have experience from club and country, so something

I'm looking forward to. You cannot leave this shrine without following

in the footsteps of the other tourists. It is a testing time for

the Scots, they have to cope with the weather and a different game

plan but they have the belief they can win this match on Saturday.

Two Scots have been named in the first wave of athletics

They are world record thrower Jo Butterfield, and the

double European Champion and World Record holder Maria Lyle.

She says she is ready for her first Paralympic Games.

I feel quite ready to go to Rio. I'm dealing with high competition, like

dealing with all the athletes, I guess. I think I've got the

experience, but also, hopefully, it isn't my last, so I can take maybe

experience from Rio to other Paralympics. And Richie Ramsey got a

hole in one at the BMW international in Germany. He used a 7-iron at the

hole in one at the BMW international 16th hole for the perfect shot. The

perfect shot. The prize, the car displayed behind him worth ?130,000.

Ramsey was so excited, he tried to get into the car, but it was locked

and he didn't have the keys.p and he didn't have the keys.p

The best-selling novel Neither Wolf Nor Dog is part

of a trilogy about native American culture.

Hollywood has been considering a film version

of the book for the best part of two decades.

But it took a filmmaker from Aberdeen to bring it to the big

screen - as our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports.

We don't always get to choose our parts. Based on a best-selling

novel, this film tells the untold stories of native American culture.

A challenge for the author and for the film-makers Hollywood had tried

for over 20 years to get this made and kept failing. If they had made

for over 20 years to get this made it, they would have gone for someone

in their 70s and whatever, it wouldn't have had that feel and

texture. It is a different thing, whereas I have been around it for so

many years and knew exactly what we needed. Literally he was the only

person who could have played that role. That person was 97-year-old

Lakotas Elder. Dave Bald Eager who has lost family members.

Many of the scenes were adlibbed. I have wept many times. It was when he

spoke from the heart. It was the moment I was hearing words and

histories I have never heard before out of his mouth. A premier at the

Edinburgh International Film Festival is apt for Steven whose

debut was screened here in 1994. A few years later, he won the trust of

the people You go somewhere with a smile on your face. People

intuitivelip respond to that. I have seen it time and time again with

Europeans on the reservation with their close relationships with

people there and the embrace they get. The film, his third, has

already been shown in the Pine Ridge reservation. Tomorrow it is his own

home crowd who'll have their say. We've seen lovely

weather at Ingliston, Thank you. Good evening.

It was beautiful, wasn't it, for many of us across country today.

Especially across the borders. Here temperatures reached 23. But widely

19 to 22. There have been a few showers, mainly towards the west and

north of the country. As we head through the rest of the evening,

those showers will continue for a time and then they'll start to

become more frequent, spreading from west to east. Across the east we'll

see clearer spells and it is staying mild for all of us tonight.

Temperatures widely in double figures. You can see from the map

where the showers are for now. Scattered across the far north,

further towards the west. Late sunshine across the east and these

showers will merge into longer spells of rain as they push further,

towards more central areas. We will see mist and low cloud, too, across

Shetland and across the Aberdeenshire-Angus coastline.

Temperatures 12 or 13 and we remain with light winds. For some morning,

it'll be a fairly cloudy start with a few showers for a time. But as we

head into the afternoon, we'll see some heavy downpours brewing, some

thunderstorms in some place, some hail mixed in but around showers,

sunshine, too, and still going to be very warm tomorrow. Temperatures

widely around 19 to 20. Cooler, perhaps, under the showers. We will

be well-scattered for a time. When we catch one, they will be

slow-moving with light winds. Across the central belt, too, we will see a

few showers here. Perhaps drier for a time across more south-eastern

few showers here. Perhaps drier for parts fted country. The best of any

brightness and once again, temperatures 19 or 20 at best. So,

brightness and once again, today was a beautiful day for the

royal Highland show. For day 2, tomorrow, the risk of showers and

one or two of them may be thundery. Again for Saturday the risk of one

or two showers. The showers for Sunday not as heavy and frequent.

For all of us on Saturday, it is a mixture ofshine and scattered

showers once again but showers not as heavy. They will be torrential in

a few spots for tomorrow but for Saturday, sunny spells in between

and temperatures, widely, around the mid-to high teens. That's your

forecast. Thank you very much.
