TWO people aged 75 and 66 have been arrested in the Highlands in connection with vandalism at the Trump Turnberry golf course earlier this month.
...
On Wednesday, police arrested a 75-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman following enquiries in Oban – which is more than 140 miles away from the course by road.

The pair have since been released pending further enquiries, and the investigation remains ongoing.

During the protest, activists dug up the greens and spray painted the words “Gaza is not for sale” across the lawn of the golf course.

Activists with Palestine Action said they targeted Trump’s golf course over the US administration’s plan “to ethnically cleanse Gaza”.
