AYR’s very own karate kids have set up their own home dojo room at home.

Heathfield primary 4 pupil Harry has set up a karate club with his big brother Zach – and they are practicing every week, with an intense workout in morning.

They have been keeping their bodies and minds motivated through lockdown.

Scotland is in lockdown. Shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. We're not exaggerating when we say that the future of the Ayr Advertiser, and the vital local news service we've provided since 1803, is under threat.

Please consider supporting the Ayr Advertiser in whatever way you can – by paying just 90p for a copy of the paper, when you're shopping for essential supplies for yourself and others, or by subscribing to our e-edition here.

Thanks – and stay safe.
