Dramatic images have shown fire engulfing a car on a busy Scots roundabout.

Emergency services raced to the Whitletts roundabout near Ayr last night following reports of a vehicle being on fire.

In footage published online by a waiting driver, bright flames could be seen as the fire engulfed the car.

Flashing blue emergency service lights also feature in the short clip, with the fire looking well-developed.
