And not even the inclement weather could dampen the spirits of beer enthusiasts, with locals showing why Kilmarnock is famed for a party.

Organised by the team behind the award-winning Eaglesham Beer Fest, the event showcased some of Scotland's best craft brewers and drinks brands.

That was supported by lip-smacking street food and fantastic live music, which kept the hardy souls warm and entertained throughout.

Organiser Fraser Wilson told the Standard: “We are so grateful to the people of Killie for welcoming us into the town for the event, which we think was a roaring success.
