DONALD Trump has been invited "home" to the Scots island where his mother was born, by its new MP.
Labour's Torcuil Crichton extended the offer to visit Lewis to the US president-elect in a Christmas card.
The Western Isles MP added both he and Trump are "sons of Lewis" so it was "an appropriate Christmas gesture to invite him home".
Republican Trump was elected as US president for the second time last month with a decisive win over Democrat Kamala Harris.
The 78-year-old, who served as leader of the free world between 2016 and 2020, will take up office again on January 20.
His mum Mary Anne MacLeod grew up in the village of Tong and left Lewis in 1930 to settle in the US, where she became a citizen in 1942.
There she met and married real estate developer Fred Trump, and they raised five children in New York City - including Donald, who was born in 1946.
Raised in a Gaelic-speaking household, Mary Anne was the youngest of 10 children of a crofter and fisherman.
She died in 2000, aged 88, and Donald visited his mum's home village in 2008.
