Police were called to the Trump Turnberry course on Maidens Road, Turnberry, South Ayrshire, at about 4.40am on Saturday, March 8.

Red paint was sprayed on the clubhouse at the 800-acre resort and damage was also caused to the greens.

Posting on his Truth Social account on Sunday, Trump branded anyone involved in attacking the course a “terrorist” and said he hoped they would be “treated harshly”.
