The family of a 71-year-old man knocked down and killed at the weekend have appealed for any witnesses to contact police.
James Watson was struck by a silver Land Rover Freelander on Bentinck Drive in Troon, South Ayrshire, at about 8.10pm on Sunday.
Emergency services attended the accident and Mr Watson was rushed to Ayr Hospital by ambulance, but he died a short time after arrival.
The 67-year-old woman who was driving the Land Rover was not injured, according to Police Scotland.
Mr Watson's family have paid tribute to him and appealed for any witnesses to the crash.
A statement released through police read: "Jim was a loving family man who will be sorely missed by his wife, Elaine and all his family.
"We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact the police."
Officers said inquiries are continuing and urged any witnesses to the accident, or anyone who saw Mr Watson prior to that, to contact them on 101.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
