A 21-year-old woman has been charged in connection with damage to US president Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf course.

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

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

Police arrested the woman in Liverpool on Thursday, and said their inquiries are ongoing.
