A GREENPEACE activist who protested the visit of Donald Trump by paragliding over controlled airspace at Turnberry has been arrested. 
 
 The 55-year-old has not yet been charged over the incident, which took place at around 9.45pm on Friday, July 13. 
 
 The US President was taking in the evening sunshine with business associates on the lawn of his Ayrshire golf course when the protestor was seen flying above carrying a banner saying: ‘Trump Well Below Par #resist’ 
 
 Security agents ushered the president inside as the activist glided overhead. 
 
 A no-fly zone had been enforced over the while Mr Trump was in residence. 
 
 At the time, Detective Inspector Stephen McCulloch said: "We are investigating a breach of the air exclusion zone over Turnberry Hotel, which is a criminal offence. 
 
 "We are attempting to trace the pilot and I would appeal to anyone with any information about the incident to call Police Scotland on 101." 
 
 Greenpeace said they told Police Scotland about their intentions beforehand, as well as informing air traffic control at nearby Prestwick Airport. 
 
 However, the Scottish Hang-gliding and Paragliding Federation condemned the protest as a violation of airspace. 
 
 A spokesperson said: "To violate airspace risks mid-air collision and is illegal and highly irresponsible. It also brings the sport of paragliding into disrepute. 
 
 "It is highly regrettable that the actions of one individual may have damaged the good reputation of powered paragliders in Scotland.” ||||| THE paragliding protester who tried to disrupt Donald Trump’s golfing break in Turnberry has been arrested, cops have confirmed. 
 
 Police Scotland confirmed that a 55-year-old man has been detained in relation to the protest in which an airborne activist held a sign saying “Trump well below par.”

 A no fly zone was in place around the area where the US President and his wife Melania were staying for two nights. 
 
 The Greenpeace protester was lucky not to be shot out the sky as elite American snipers aimed their guns at the aerial threat from the roof above. 
 
 He flew three miles across the Ayrshire countryside at 9.30pm – minutes after Trump arrived at the course. 
 
 The 55-year-old then circled the lawn in front of the Turnberry hotel where the Republican firebrand was staying for the weekend.

 The environmental group also claim they contacted Prestwick air traffic control by telephone and radio to inform them about the paraglider’s arrival. 
 
 Following the stunt on Friday, Police Scotland's Assistant Mark Williams said: "We are aware a powered parachute was flown in close proximity of the Turnberry Hotel earlier this evening.

– President Trump's visit to the United Kingdom has attracted no small amount of protest or controversy, but one of the more innovative protesters has been arrested for his trouble, reports the Sun. The unnamed 55-year-old Greenpeace protester paraglided over Trump's Turnberry resort Friday evening as the US president arrived, bearing a sign that said: "Trump: Well Below Par." The small problem with this airborne exercise in free speech was that it violated a no-fly zone around the golf course, and snipers were at the ready. Greenpeace says it informed local officials of the stunt 10 minutes beforehand, but the Scottish Hang-gliding and Paragliding Federation isn't having it, telling the Sunday Herald: "To violate airspace risks mid-air collision and is illegal and highly irresponsible. It also brings the sport of paragliding into disrepute." The paraglider himself has not yet been charged.
