The temperature might only have been nine degrees yesterday here in the west of Scotland, but as it was what felt like the first sunny Saturday of spring, it seems like everyone decided to hit the beach anyway!

Designed by Anthony Vogt and sculpted by Roy Fitzsimmons, Irvine's one-time Artist-in-Residence, it was created in the 1980s using recycled red sandstone.

At six feet high and 120 feet long, it's one of the largest sculptures of its type on Scotland, and visiting it makes for a great trip out from the city on sunny days like today.

A nice walk on the beach this afternoon, with Dianne (partner), Yvonne (daughter), Emily (grand daughter), Edward (grand son), Foxy and Daisy. I think the wedding shoot was just a fashion shoot, as the 'groom' got in a car with the photographer at #Irvine #irvinebeach #Ayrshire
