THE 60 mile-an-hour winds attributed to Storm Ashley resulted in two giant trees being blown over at Hunterston on Sunday night.

A tree was blown over at the Hunterston roundabout but fortunately did not affect any of the traffic flow.

And Ian Dalgleish of the Largs and Millport News Camera Club captured a photo of another tree blown over close to the Fairlie to Hunterston cycle path.

The impact of Storm Ashley resulted in ferry services being suspended for most of the day, while trains were also cancelled between Largs and Kilwinning.

Kelburn Country Centre also had to cancel its Hallowe'en horror outing of Blight on Sunday night.

In a message to ticket holders, a Kelburn spokesperson said: "Staff have been monitoring conditions onsite, also keeping an eye on weather reports.

"In line with the latest Met Office and Local Authority statements we no longer feel it would be responsible to run our event tonight.

"With wind speeds increasing and the weather worsening after 5pm it seems prudent to cancel tonight's trail.

"We will be looking to contact all ticket holders for tonight and looking at rebooking options.

"We can only apologise for this but public and staff safety remains our number one priority."

A number of businesses on the Isle of Cumbrae decided not to open on Sunday due to the anticipated ferry disruption.

Meanwhile, a starlight walk for baby and infant death awareness did go ahead on Sunday evening from Largs RNLI to the ferry terminal.
