Ayr town centre is set for a £16 million investment after South Ayrshire Council were awarded Levelling Up funding from the UK Government.
Burns Statue Square could now see a range of improvements over the next few years after the funding was secured.
Three main streams for developing the town centre square have already been identified including the general regeneration of the area, a shopfront improvement scheme and an active travel route linking the town centre with Prestwick Airport.
