from chess 24 :
Magnus leaves the building: "This week I’m going to Denmark for a small exhibition, then I’m going to Scotland to play a rapid tournament this weekend against Vishy, Ding & some Russian, probably Karjakin. Then the weekend after that it’s Norway Chess, so it’s pretty busy!"

Further evidence from Karjakin himself that it is likely to be him:

RE: Lindores Abbey - William Hulme - 31-05-2019
Just wondering how both the Simuls went? Any results for any of our players against either Vishy or Karjakin...?
Apologies if its posted elsewhere
RE: Lindores Abbey - Jim Webster - 01-06-2019
Both Anand and Karjakin won all their games.
Having said that there was some good chess played by the Scottish players. I have emailed all and asked for a copy of the games - some have come in already with others still to come. Andy B is also looking for them for the next issue of Scottish Chess e-Mag.
RE: Lindores Abbey - William Hulme - 01-06-2019
Excellent, look forward to seeing them in the eMag then!
