Next stop: Ayr!

After contemplating the cold of the Antarctic in Dundee, and experiencing the cold of SNO!Zone, I thought I should stop off somewhere warmer next.

I headed for the seaside and unpacked my trunk at Ayr beach, where thankfully the sun was shining.

I was greeted by Ailsa Page (9), Jennifer Bauld (7), Katie McCartan (6), Zoe Cobbett (11) and Rosie MacKenzie (9) from Dundonald Primary School in Ayr, along with Stratton Macdonald, Group Leader Waste Strategy at South Ayrshire Council.

South Ayrshire is Scotland’s second-highest achiever in recycling, with rates currently standing at 41% of all waste and projected to rise to 70% by 2025.

The Council is also planning to introduce a number of community recycling skips at locations throughout the local area to make it simpler for people to dispose of recyclable heavy items.

My tour throughout Scotland is still going strong, and you can follow me on Twitter and join my fan page on Facebook for clues as to where I’ll be next.

By guessing the location of my next visit, you’ll enter a prize draw for the chance to win a £100 food hamper, courtesy of SPAR!
