There is a spate of public holidays in May - and Largs residents are being reminded to ensure they don't miss out on access to vital medication.

Largs Medical Group has urged users to ensure they are covered when the practice closes on May 1, May 8 and May 29, with an additional day this year because of King Charles III's coronation.

In a message from the practice, manager Kirsten McKellar said: "A gentle reminder that there are three public holidays in May on May 1, May 8 and May 29.

"Please ensure that you have ordered any repeat prescriptions in adequate time for Largs Medical Group and your designated pharmacy to process."
