Mr McPherson was the Head Teacher @Maidens Primary school for a couple of years and made such a difference. My kids thought he was amazing.

Lesley Mair

Very well deserved Bobby! A real people-person!

Tracy Nelson

Awwwwwww amazing . Well done team Braehead. Love when I get to come visit you guys for YMI, such a lovely, friendly atmosphere to work in .

Angela Tribe

Bobby McPherson is one of the best, he deserves all the praise given.

The eagerly-awaited £29m Maybole by-pass is only weeks away from opening.

Ricky Ewings

Is this like the Dalry by pass? Do a wee bit in the middle rather than link up properly?

Gordon Thompson

Should be an M77 extension, or at the very least it should be dualled. It’s the main goods corridor from Scotland to Ireland, carrying significant volumes of HGV’s.

We need a bypass on the A76 I’m sick fed up being stuck behind tractors and the traffic lights at Mauchline!
