Hundreds of children have been driven to Troon for a day at the seaside by generous Glasgow cabbies.

More than 300 children who require additional support for learning have been chauffeured to the seaside along with their parents or carers as part of an annual charity trip on Wednesday.

This will be 71st annual outing organised by the Glasgow Taxi Outing Fund (GTOF), with more than 100 taxi drivers giving up their day to take the children to the seaside for free this year.

The popular event was attended by well-wishers at the traditional starting point on Kelvin Way before the taxis travelled through Glasgow city centre and the south side on their way to South Ayrshire.

Many of the cabbies wore fancy dress costumes and decorated their taxis for the journey.

Backers include Glasgow Taxis Ltd, Celtic FC Foundation and Optical Express.

Taxis arrived at Kelvin Way from around 9.30am, with representatives from Glasgow Taxis and Celtic arriving shortly after.

West end restaurant The Butchershop Bar & Grill provided complimentary rolls and sausage for spectators and participants.

A fleet of 13 police motorcyclists travelled with the fleet of taxis on the road to Troon.
