A TV adventurer was a special visitor to Ayrshire this week after flying on to the island for a special event.

Bear Grylls, and participants in the Bear Grylls Survival Academy, took part in a day of activities including jumping from a helicopter, abseiling and team-building, on the island of Little Cumbrae.

The TV star was on hand to guide participants through the day alongside instructors from the academy.

A spokesperson for the island said: β€œIt was a privilege to welcome The Bear Grylls Survival Academy to Little Cumbrae to host a great corporate event.”

Little Cumbrae is uninhabited year-round, but visitors can access the island through special tours by local companies.
