The Arran ferry has been forced to divert to Troon this morning due to deteriorating weather conditions.

And other services between Ardrossan and Brodick have already been cancelled for this morning with an update due at 1pm.

CalMac said berthing at Ardrossan harbour would "not be possible" due to strong easterly winds.

As a result, the 8.20am sailing from Brodick left half an hour late, heading for the South Ayrshire port.

The ferry company revealed: "A bus service will be available for foot passengers from Troon ferry terminal to Ardrossan ferry terminal.

"Due to the strong easterly wind, the following sailings have been cancelled: depart Ardrossan - 9.45am, 12.30pm, depart Brodick - 11.05am, 1.50pm.

"There will be review at approximately 1pm for the service resuming from Ardrossan."
