Talk of the town from our social media

Last week, we told how a dog- mad couple dressed the furry friend in a kilt for their wedding at Ayr’s Savoy Park.

Lisa and Robert Irvine tied the knot with their West Highland Terrier, who was part of the wedding party.

Margaret Whalen said: “I had my Lhasa Apso in my wedding pictures. She was my furbaby.”

Steven Mackie said: “That sounds amazing! I wish I was that age now to experience that as a kid.”

Evelyn Welsh said: “Great idea! Sad that the planning department was so negative in its approach, but good news that it’s happening.”

We wrote that a campaign had stepped up to save chemotherapy service at Ayr Hospital

It had been backed by Cumnock Community Council after it was reported last October that cancer patients would have to travel up to 100 miles for life- saving chemotherapy as the axe fell on the treatment at Ayr Hospital.

Jean Mcmaster said: “It will close if we do nothing. We have to fight to keep it at Ayr.”

Lisa Haining said: “The changes being made to Ayr and Crosshouse hospitals are not in the public or staffs “
