West Kilbride have come up with a crafty idea to encourage people to visit the village.

With the Barony Hall, and host of craft, art and design studios, the village have set up new postcards which they are encouraging people to send out urging others to take a 'daycation' in the Scotland's officially designated craft town.

Kay Hall said: "Over the next few days these postcards will be available in many of our shops.

"Please use them to invite friends and family to visit West Kilbride to support our fabulous traders, cafes and makers."
