Donald Trump has brought the eyes of the world to Scotland this week, but as he heads back to the White House after a meeting with John Swinney, what has he left behind?

The BBC’s North America editor, Sarah Smith, tells us how Donald Trump is rewriting the rule book - and Phil Sim reveals how he ruined his trousers in pursuit of the most powerful man in the world.

Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
