Vandalism was reported at the course in the early hours of Saturday March 8 and the 33-year-old man was initially arrested on Wednesday March 12.

A third person has been charged after vandalism was reported at Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf resort earlier this month.

A 33-year-old man was charged on Friday March 28 in connection with damage to a golf course at a premises on Maidens Road near Girvan, South Ayrshire, according to police.

It was reported at around 4.40am on Saturday March 8 and the man was initially arrested on Wednesday March 12 before being charged more than two weeks later.

He is due to appear at Ayr Sheriff Court on Monday March 31. Police also say inquiries are ongoing.

It comes after a 75-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman were also arrested on Wednesday March 26 in connection with the same incident.

Pro-Palestine slogans and red paint were splashed across the prestigious golf resort with “Gaza is not 4 sale” also sprayed across one of the greens.

Both the 75-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman were released pending further enquiries.

Palestine Action, which took responsibility for the attack, said the move was a “direct response to the US administration’s stated intent to ethnically cleanse Gaza”.

Mr Trump’s recent comments include plans to “clean out the whole thing” in regards to the area. An AI-generated video shared by the President showed Gaza transformed into a “Middle Eastern paradise”.

The video depicted beaches, skyscrapers and yachts, and featured an AI generated Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sipping cocktails by a pool.

Mr Trump sent a message to the two million population on his Truth social platform, writing: “To the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do , you are dead”.

The Trump administration recently signed off on the shipment of 40,000 bombs to Israel.

Days after the incident Eric Trump, son of US President Donald Trump touched down at Edinburgh Airport in his dad’s private Boeing 757 jet on March 13 to meet First Minister John Swinney.

Trump met Swinney for what was described as a “business meeting”. Eric Trump took over the running of some of his father’s businesses in 2017.

In a release from the group, a Palestine Action spokesperson said: “Palestine Action rejects Donald Trump’s treatment of Gaza as though it were his property to dispose of as he likes.

“To make that clear, we have shown him that his own property is not safe from acts of resistance. We will continue to take action against US-Israeli colonialism in the Palestinian homeland.”

A spokesman for Trump Turnberry previously said: “This was a childish, criminal act but the incredible team at Trump Turnberry will ensure it does not impact business.

“Turnberry is a national treasure and will continue to be the number one beacon of luxury and excellence in the world of golf.”

A Police Scotland spokesperson added: “Around 4.40am on Saturday, 8 March, 2025, we received a report of damage to the golf course and a premises on Maidens Road, Turnberry.

“Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 quoting reference 0636 of 8 March, 2025.”
