A number of Ayr businesses are reminding shoppers they are still open as renovation works begin.
Both Willie Wastle's sports bar and beauty business Allure & Co are partially hidden by scaffolding, as work gets underway on the building on New Bridge Street.
Both businesses are keen to remind passers-by that they remain open, and will be as welcoming as ever whilst the works take place.
An Allure spokesperson said: "We are open as normal but we have scaffolding going up to get the front of the building all painted nice and new.
"Can’t wait to see the finished results!"
