President Trump's Turnberry resort in Ayrshire was targeted by activists

A man arrested in connection with damage caused to Donald Trump's Turnberry Golf Resort has been released.

Red paint was spattered across one of the buildings at the Ayrshire course at about 04:40 on Saturday in protest at the US president's comments on the future of Gaza.

A green was also daubed with the words "Gaza is not for sale" while another was dug up.

Police Scotland confirmed the 33-year-old, who was arrested earlier on Wednesday, had been released pending further inquiries.

President Trump has been widely criticised after proposing to empty the Gaza strip of all Palestinians.
