'Corroded gas pipe' thought to have led to Ayrshire home explosion

Images show the extent of the damage that the blast caused in a residential area last year.

AN explosion at a South Ayrshire home that left a family of four in hospital was caused by a corroded gas pipe, a report has revealed.

One home was completely destroyed by the blast which also damaged dozens of other Gorse Park properties in the Kincaidston area of Ayr in October last year.
