A man has been arrested after Donald Trump's golf course in Scotland was vandalised by pro-Palestine protesters with a 'Gaza is Not For Sale' slogan painted across the green. 

A 33-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday by officers after the course in Turnberry was defaced on Saturday, March 8. 

Police Scotland said he had since been released pending further investigation and that enquiries remain ongoing. 

Pictures emerged at the weekend of the plush white buildings at the swanky course smeared in red paint. 

Several of the course's most prestigious holes were dug up by protest group Palestine Action, while 'Gaza is not 4sale' was sprayed in 3-metre-high letters across a green.

Expletive-laden insults are also shown to be sprayed across tarmac areas of the plush golf course.

It comes after Trump sparked fury by promoting a bizarre vision for what his 'Riviera of the Middle East' - where he laid out his plans to 'take over' the Gaza Strip and turn it into a gaudy tourist resort.

Trump's proposal was met with global criticism by both lawmakers and analysts who fear the plan would forcibly displace Gaza's population of two million, while US critics wondered if the President's vision would plunge the nation into the potentially bloody role of occupying power.

Speaking on social media, the group threatened: 'Whilst Trump attempts to treat Gaza as his property, he should know his own property is within reach.'

A spokesperson added on Saturday: '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.'
