An Ayr shop owner has told of her relief after her sister and five-year-old niece escaped to safety from an underground bunker in Ukraine.
Olga Stewart (Milchenko), who runs Olga's Alterations in Newmarket Street, says their getaway is a miracle after they risked it all to reach the security of Lviv which is near the border with Poland.
An application for a visa is now going through in the hope Olga can bring them to Ayrshire.
