The tattie-bogles are appearing around West Kilbride which means the Scarecrow Festival is here.

Last year saw the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Craft Town community event.

West Kilbride broke new ground with the Scarecrow Festival and now it is copied up and down the UK as an event that brings out the creative talents of local people.

The big day is Saturday, July 25 with the parade of tattie-bogles leaving the station at midday and ending up at the entertainment hub in Kirktonhall Glen.

Expect lots of fun rides, facepainting, crafts, food stalls and the beer tent plus great live music from local acts.

Later, the live bands continue into the night at the village hall, the Tavern and The Kings Arms.

So tart up your tattie-bogle and join the fun!
