Diggers are ready to move in at South Ayrshire Council's biggest housing project in recent years.
A total of 160 new affordable homes are to be built on the site of the former Mainholm Academy in Ayr.
A mix of one, two, three, four, five and six-bedroom properties will be constructed by Prestwick-based Ashleigh (Scotland) Ltd.
The new homes will be available to rent and be energy efficient, and some will be modified to ensure they have full wheelchair access.
The final green light to begin works follows the transfer of the land to the Council’s Housing Revenue Account, paving the way for the new development.
The council will work alongside hub South West Scotland Ltd to deliver the new housing project, which saw a sod cutting ceremony take place this week to mark the start of official works.
