A MAN will appear in court tomorrow in relation to an incident which saw a parachute fly in the vicinity of Donald Trump's Turnberry Hotel.
The 55-year-old is expected to appear at Ayr Sheriff Court on Monday after the powered flying apparatus appeared at the resort at around 9.45pm on Friday evening.
This was one of two arrests made in relation to the US President's visit.
Another man was arrested in relation to alleged threatening and abusive behaviour on the beach at Turnberry on Sunday. The 64-year-old was issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice.
The police operation put in place for the visit to Scotland of the President of the United States has now concluded.
Assistant chief constable Mark Williams said: "This was a major and complex policing operation involving thousands of officers that impacted right across Scotland.
"Our priority throughout was to protect the President, maintain public safety and facilitate thousands of people across Scotland to exercise their right to protest peacefully.
"I would like to thank all of the officers and staff from Police Scotland and elsewhere that worked together in helping us achieve this and in particular those who took part in the protests in Glasgow, Dundee and Edinburgh for their good behaviour."
