A colourful convoy of Glasgow taxis with 300 children onboard are on their way to the seaside.

It's the 71st trip to Troon organised by the Glasgow Taxi Outing Fund for kids with additional support needs.

The famous event was attended by hundreds of well-wishers at the traditional starting point on Kelvin Way, before the taxis set off on their colourful expedition through Glasgow’s city centre and southside then on to Ayrshire. Supporters include main backers Glasgow Taxis Ltd as well as Celtic FC Foundation and Optical Express.

Most of the drivers decorate their taxis and don fancy dress costumes, much to the delight of the children and people who line the route from Glasgow to Troon.
