Pro-Palestine activists vandalized President Donald Trump’s acclaimed Turnberry golf resort in Scotland overnight Friday. The incident involved graffiti and digging holes in one of the course’s fairways.
Drone footage captured the aftermath, showing the clubhouse covered in red paint and large white letters spelling out “Gaza Is Not For Sale” painted near a green area.
The lamp post at the resort’s entrance was also damaged while graffiti reading “Free Gaza” and “Free Palestine” were sprayed on the entrance’s wall.
The group Palestine Action took responsibility following Trump’s plans for the future of Gaza, which could see millions of Palestinians displaced.

It wasn’t immediately clear which course had been vandalized.
The resort’s signature course, the Alisa Course, is named after the ancient volcanic island Ailsa Craig, which is located across from the property and dates back half a billion years. This course is consistently ranked as one of the top 10 golf courses globally.
“Yesterday, it was ranked #3 golf course in Europe. Today, it’s shut,” Palestine Action wrote on X.
The resort is one of two that Trump, via the Trump Organization, operates in Scotland, with the second being Trump International Scotland in Aberdeen. The president is an avid golfer and his mother hailed from Scotland.
Police in Scotland said they are investigating the incident.

“Around 4.40 a.m. on Saturday, 8 March, 2025, we received a report of damage to the golf course and a premises on Maidens Road, Turnberry,” a Police Scotland spokesperson said, adding that investigations were ongoing.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Trump Organization for comment.
