President Bush grazed his hands when he collided with a police officer while cycling through the grounds of Gleneagles yesterday.

The collision with the policeman - ironically on security duty - occurred while Mr Bush was going at a "pretty good speed", according to a White House spokesman. Mr Bush's plans to have dinner with Queen Elizabeth were not affected. The officer was taken to hospital as a precaution.
