Ayrshire must be high up on the compo face league table.

A husband with a disabled wife says their new life in Ayrshire has been 'ruined' by a dispute with a roofing firm.

Kenneth Davies, 70, and his wheelchair-bound wife Christine, 69, moved to Ayr after their retirement home in France burned to the ground.

After settling into life in a bungalow on Whitletts Road, they were plagued with a leaking roof.

Drivers also have to park "within the confines of a single marked parking bay"

My God the inhumanity. I hope they take this to the highest Court in the land. This isn't the Brexit they voted for....

Not exactly “compo” but….

“A row has broken out over plans to rehome Britain's loneliest sheep.

But an animal rights group says plans to rehome her to a farm park near Dumfries would make her a "spectacle".

Sheep on a farm? That'll never catch on.

Not sure why they're worried about the sheep being taken to a petting zoo..

Since Monday, supporters of Animal Rising have been in the Highlands of Scotland preparing to rescue ‘Britain’s Loneliest Sheep’. The individuals involved found a way to reach the sheep now known as Fiona. They spent the past five days in a row getting closer to Fiona ahead of a rescue planned for this Sunday, 5th November, intending to take her to Tribe Animal Sanctuary near Glasgow.

 
 
 

The rescue was arranged in collaboration with an adjacent landowner with connections to the Royal Family, whose name we agreed not to release.

 
 
 

This morning, the landowner facilitated a separate, covert operation to take Fiona to live at a well-known, but currently unnamed, Scottish petting zoo [1]. The Scottish SPCA were in attendance and have not objected to this plan despite admitting previously that Fiona will be ‘fearful’ of people and find interactions ‘distressing’ after two years alone [2].

 
 
 
Local Animal Rising supporter, Jamie Moyes, said:
 
“We are of course pleased Fiona is no longer stranded, but it is completely unacceptable that she would be taken to a ‘petting zoo’ when she has already suffered for the last two years. We reached an agreement with the landowner for her to be rescued and taken to a safe and peaceful sanctuary, but he went behind our back to make a spectacle of her instead.
 
Petting zoos can be stressful for any animal, but especially for one that has lived alone for the last two years and will likely now be mobbed by daily visitors owing to her celebrity status. The right thing to do would be to allow her to live out the rest of her life safely at Tribe Animal Sanctuary, who already agreed to home her.”
