Two men reported to prosecutors after a paragliding protest during Donald Trump’s stay at Turnberry will not face criminal proceedings.

A banner reading “Trump: well below par” was flown from a powered paraglider shortly after the US president arrived at his South Ayrshire hotel on 13 July last year.

A 55-year-old man was subsequently arrested, charged and released pending further inquiries.

In November, police said a 35-year-old man had been reported to the procurator fiscal in connection with the incident.

A Crown Office spokesman said: “The procurator fiscal deals with every case on its own individual facts and circumstances, and will take action where there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to do so.

“Following full and careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of this case, crown counsel instructed that there should be no criminal proceedings at this time.

“The crown reserves the right to proceed in the future should further evidence become available.”

During the private leg of his four-day visit to the UK, Trump and his wife, Melania, stayed at the Trump Turnberry resort.

Figures obtained by the Press Association revealed the £14.2m cost of policing the visit in which he met the Queen at Windsor Castle and was hosted by the prime minister, Theresa May.
