Joe Biden will stay in Edinburgh for the duration of COP26, travelling to Glasgow for each day of the conference.
The US President arrived in Edinburgh on Monday morning ahead of the first full day of COP26 in Glasgow.
He will join leaders from around the world to discuss goals for tackling climate change over the next ten years at the conference which has been dubbed "the last chance for humanity".
Here's everything we know about how President Joe Biden will travel to COP26 in Glasgow each day from Edinburgh...
How will Joe Biden travel from Edinburgh to Glasgow for COP26?
Reports suggest that President Biden will travel between Edinburgh and Glasgow by road in his car nicknamed The Beast.
The Beast is a custom-built Cadillac 18ft limousine, which weighs between 6.5 and 8 tonnes.
It has extensive security measures built-in, with a bullet proof exterior just the beginning - it can also withstand explosions and give electric shocks via the handles.
Litres of the President's blood are carried around in the car in case of an emergency.
The car is driven by Secret Service drivers who have undergone extensive training.
Biden used this car at the G7 summit earlier this summer, while President Obama also used to use the car for overseas trips.
How much does The Beast cost?
The Beast is thought to cost around $1.5 million per vehicle, with a number of similar cars in the fleet.
These other cars are used for other high profile foreign officials and VIP guests.
When did Joe Biden arrive in Scotland?
Joe Biden flew to Edinburgh in Air Force One on Monday morning from Rome following the G20 summit in the Italian capital.
He will travel to Glasgow from Edinburgh airport on Monday for the first full day of the conference.
