Investigations are ongoing into the cause of a gaping hole in a Troon street.
Scottish Water say that a sink hole was reported in Troon yesterday (May 15).
A section of the road on Bentinck Drive appears to have collapsed, leaving a wide hole in the ground.
The hole is believed to have appeared quickly, with images on social media showing how it started out as a dip in the road.
A Scottish Water Spokesperson said: “A sink hole on the carriageway at Bentinck Drive, Troon was reported to us yesterday afternoon.
"Our waste water response team attended and we are investigating the sewer pipe which lies under the road.
"The area has been barriered off for the safety of the public and road users.
"As soon as the cause has been identified, we will work with the local authority to ensure the issue is resolved.”
South Ayrshire Council has also been contacted for comment.
