Demonstrators vandalized the site with graffiti reading 'Free Gaza' and 'Gaza is not for Sale.' Saturday's incident expressed anger over Trump's recent statements regarding Gaza. A group has taken responsibility for the actions, while Scottish police investigate.
Local media showcased graffiti painted in red, declaring 'Free Gaza' and 'Free Palestine,' accompanied by messages critical of Trump. Boldly inscribed was, 'Gaza is not for Sale.'
'We Reject this Treatment of Gaza'
An organization called the Palestine Action Group claimed responsibility via social media platform X, stating, 'We caused this damage. We reject Donald Trump's attempts to consider Gaza his property, suggesting his holdings are also within our reach.'

Why Are Pro-Palestinians Angry?
Last month, Trump announced unexpectedly that the U.S. would take control of Gaza, aiming to resettle its over 2 million Palestinian residents and transform it into a Middle Eastern Riviera.
Regarding this incident, a spokesman for the Scottish police stated, 'On Saturday, March 8th, 2025, at approximately 4:40 AM, we received reports of damage at a campus located on the golf course and Maidens Road Turnberry. An investigation is ongoing.'
Earlier that Saturday, an individual climbed London's Big Ben Tower, waving a Palestinian flag over the Palace of Westminster.
