An Ayrshire family is spending the festive period in a hotel after their house went up in flames.
Kilwinning mum-of-two, Nicole Finlay, has been left devastated after a fire claimed her precious possessions along with her two daughters' Christmas gifts.
Now the community is rallying to help the brave family, who are holed up in the Red Squirrel hotel until at least Boxing Day, with an online fundraiser which has garnered over £350 so far.
