Works are continuing at pace on two major housing developments in Ayr.
The local authority has confirmed that works are on progress at the Mainholm housing development and on the site of the town's old high flats.
A total of 160 new affordable homes are being built on the site of the former Mainholm Academy site, with a mix of one, two, three, four, five and six bedroom properties.
The new homes will be available to rent, will be energy efficient, and some will be modified to ensure they have full wheelchair access.
A council spokesperson said: "Works are on progress at the Mainholm housing development in Ayr. Kits are being installed at the remaining plots and drainage works are continuing."
Meanwhile, 75 new homes are being built in the heart of Ayr, with affordable flats built on the site of two former tower blocks.
Ashleigh Scotland Ltd, who were appointed by hub South West Scotland will build 43, one bedroom properties and 32, two bedroom properties at the site.
The project, which will cost around £17.2m including a £6.7m contribution from the Scottish Government, is set to be completed in May 2025.
A council spokesperson added: "At the Riverside housing project, steelwork has been completed and timber kits continue to be installed.
"Over the coming weeks precast floors and stairs will be added."
