SOUTH Ayrshire schools did a fantastic job at the Annual School Burns Competition that was held in Prestwick Academy recently.

On Saturday March 5 schools from all across Ayrshire converged on Prestwick Academy to take part.

South Ayrshire had four winners in the primary school section and 12 winners in the senior school category.

Those pupils gaining first and second places will be invited to represent Ayrshire at the National Festivals.

This year this will be taking place at St George's School for Girls, in Edinburgh on Saturday, April 23 for secondary schools from all over Scotland and Saturday, May 14 for all Scottish primary schools.
