LONDON: US President Donald Trump鈥檚 Turnberry golf resort in Scotland has been daubed with pro-Palestinian graffiti, with a protest group claiming responsibility.
Local media on Saturday showed images of red paint scrawled across walls at the course with the slogans 鈥淔ree Gaza鈥� and 鈥淔ree Palestine鈥� as well as insults against Trump.
鈥淕aza is not for sale鈥� was also painted on one of the greens and holes dug up on the course.
Palestine Action said it caused the damage, posting on social media platform X: 鈥淲hilst Trump attempts to treat Gaza as his property, he should know his own property is within reach.鈥�
Last month, Trump enraged the Arab world by declaring unexpectedly that the United States would take over Gaza, resettle its over 2-million Palestinian population and develop it into the 鈥淩iviera of the Middle East.鈥�
Police Scotland said it was investigating.
鈥淎round 4.40am on Saturday, 8 March, 2025, we received a report of damage to the golf course and a premises on Maidens Road, Turnberry,鈥� a Police Scotland spokesperson said, adding that enquiries were ongoing.
Separately on Saturday, a man waving a Palestinian flag climbed the Big Ben tower at London鈥檚 Palace of Westminster.
