We have some wonderfully scenic areas around this part of the world and plenty of people take advantage of them being on our doorsteps.

We asked Cumnock Chronicle readers to pic their most picturesque place in the area and they didn't disappoint.

Stretching across all corners of Ayrshire, we've selected some of the best images submitted.
