This week we take a look at the best pictures featured in the Ayr Advertiser some 20 years ago.

It was Easter-time and there was plenty going on in South Ayrshire in April 2004 it seems.

Who can you spot in these photos?

The P7a pupils at Troon Primary took a trip back in time during a special Victorian day. The classroom was rearranged as it was in times past and lessons styled as they were in the 1800s. The pupils enjoyed getting into the spirit of things, with Kyle Vallance, 11, and Thomas Gaunt, 11, receiving some Victorian style discipline.
