We have some wonderfully scenic areas around this part of the world and plenty of people take advantage of them being on our doorsteps.
We asked Cumnock Chronicle readers to pic their most picturesque place in the area and they didn't disappoint.
Stretching across all corners of Ayrshire, we've selected some of the best images submitted.
Loch Doon
A popular and understandable choice, as shown by Craig Mccomb, Neil Given and Tracey Denny's pictures.
Afton Reservoir
Christopher Greig is right to point out the stunning Afton Reservoir.
Waterside Bing
Mark Graham's choice of Waterside Bing gets bonus points for including dogs in his picture.
Galloway Forrest
There's something about a crisp looking photo that adds something extra, as shown by Sharon Blackmore's choice of Galloway Forrest.
Lochside
Wully Mccallum's choice was Lochside, and we can see why.
Tibbie's Brig
More bonus points for Fred Dickson and his selection of Tibbie's Brig near Muirkirk.
Mauchline
Leanne Riedel submitted a season photo of Mauchline Church grounds.
Dunure
A worthy selection of Dunure was given by Anne Welsh McKinlay.
The Devil's backdoor
As wonderful in the winter as it is in the summer, Claire Allison selected The Devil's backdoor.
Dumfries House
Last, but certainly not least, Dumfries House proved to be another popular choice, as selected by Tommy Samson.
