Fans of vintage transport and vehicles from a bygone era are in for a real treat this month when the Ayrshire Roadrun returns.

The annual procession of vintage commercial trucks, tractors, buses and more will be on the road and heading through the region over the weekend of Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12.

And you can get up close to these amazing vehicles as they’ll be on display at the Barony Campus, in Cumnock, before the convoy sets off.

There will be a static display at the school car park from 9am until 12noon.

The convoy will then set off and head through the region, making a pit-stop at Castle Douglas Cattle Market and then on to Portpatrick.

Spectators can see the convoy on the road at the following (approximate) times and destinations; Skares Road 12.05pm, Benson Smiddy 12.10pm, Dalleagles 12.15pm, Dalmellington 12.30pm, Carsphairn 12.45pm, St John’s Dalry 1pm, Ken Bridge 1.10pm, Corsock 1.20pm, Crocketford 1.30pm, Milton 1.40pm, Haugh of Urr 1.50pm.

The convoy is expected to arrive at Castle Douglas Cattle Market at 2pm when they will again line up for a static display, before leaving at 3.30pm.

The Roadrun participants are expected to be in Portpatrick at around 5pm on Saturday and they will be based at Galloway Point Caravan Park and at the Main Harbour.

On Sunday, July 12, they are due to leave Portpatrick at 11am and will follow the A77 to Stranraer, then head north to Maidens/Turnberry. They will then follow the coastal route to Ayr where they should be seen in the afternoon on the Promenade.

The annual event is organised by the Ayrshire Commercial Vintage Vehicle Club.
