In common with other town centres, Ayr has seen the closure of many shops over the last few years. In this view, only 1 of the 6 shops is still in business. That one is Watt Brothers, on the far right of this shot. Breathing new life into our town centres isn't going to be easy. For a later view, see Image & Image
