Protestors have taken to the golf course and beach outside Donald Trump’s Turnberry hotel.
Pro-Palestine demonstrators crossed the Ayrshire golf course and unfurled a huge flag on the beach while hosting a "family fun day".
The protesters say they are demonstrating in response to the US President's war in the Middle East and against the actions of ICE agents in the US.

A spokesperson for the Gaza Genocide Emergency Committee said: "Donald Trump has presided over genocidal killing in Gaza, illegal wars in the Middle East, fascist ICE policing, and fearful insecurity across the world. He is a voracious warmonger, malignant narcissist and dangerous psychopath.
"While people struggle for survival in the rubble of Gaza, face mass devastation in Lebanon, and pull children from their bombed schools in Iran, Trump luxuriates in his corporate golf course and hotel at Turnberry.
"A genocidal gangster and eco-vandal like Trump has no moral right to own any of our land here in Scotland."
Trump Turnberry began life in 1906 as the Turnberry Station Hotel and golf course; it has since evolved through multiple owners and, under Donald Trump’s ownership since 2014, when the Trump Organization bought Turnberry from Leisurecorp and rebranded it as Trump Turnberry.
Trump’s group says it invested around £200m in renovating the hotel and transforming the Ailsa course under architect Martin Ebert, as well as adding the King Robert the Bruce course and a new ballroom.
Since Donald Trump bought Turnberry in 2014, the resort has periodically become a focus for protests, but many of the biggest demonstrations have happened off‑site in nearby cities rather than at the course itself.
The most high‑profile of those came during his presidential visit in 2018, when thousands joined anti‑Trump marches in Edinburgh and Glasgow while he played golf at Turnberry.
Most recently, Greenpeace staged a stunt in April 2026 in which activists installed model wind turbines on one of the greens to highlight Trump’s hostility to offshore wind and support for North Sea oil and gas, and acts of pro‑Palestine vandalism where “Gaza is not for sale” was sprayed onto a green.
Police Scotland and Trump Turnberry have been contacted for comment.
