The body of a man has been discovered at a fairground in Stranraer this afternoon, with police probing the "unexplained" death.
Emergency services were called to Breastworks car park in Stranraer, which is the site of a travelling Codonas funfair, shortly after 1pm on Tuesday to reports of a man's body being discovered.
