A selfless schoolgirl who looks after her disabled brother has opened up about her life as a young carer to shine a spotlight on Carers Week.
Heather Mckinlay, 12, from Ayr, helps to look after her younger brother, Connor, who suffers from cerebral palsy.
Heather helps full-time carer mum Shona and dad Billy, a warehouse supervisor, to supervise 11-year-old Connor at all times as he is non-verbal, wheelchair-bound and has no danger awareness.
