Haunting photos show the ruins of an Ayrshire nightclub - and a hidden road - ahead of its demolition.
Parkers in Kilmarnock was a popular night spot for locals across many years and even hosted gig nights for local and up-and-coming bands.
The basement bar in the town centre is tucked under the multi-storey in the Foregate.

At the time, director Bryan Singer and 20th Century Fox had lost their original choice, Dougray Scott, to Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible II.” After “X-Men” became a huge hit, Jackman was briefly considered for the role of James Bond in what would end up being 2006’s “Casino Royale.” He turned down the part paving the way for Daniel Craig to ultimately take the reins from Pierce Brosnan.
