All schools in South Ayrshire are to close tomorrow (Thursday, March 1) due to the worsening weather conditions.

A spokesperson for South Ayrshire Council, said: "While the Amber and Red weather warnings do not currently apply to South Ayrshire itself, we know from our experience today, combined with the advice from the Scottish Government of major disruption to travel arrangements, that this will have a significant impact on the ability of our teaching staff to travel to work from other areas.

"At this time, all schools are expected to open as normal on Friday, March 2 and a further update will be provided if the situation changes."
