More than 1,000 scooter riders from around the world are descending on Ayr for the 34th Euro Lambretta Jamboree.
It is the first time the event has been held in Scotland since the 2004 edition, which took place in Kelso.
Entertainment planned throughout the weekend includes various ride-outs, repair workshops and a parade of vintage models of the Italian brand.
Lambrettas were designed by Ferdinando Innocenti in Milan in the late 40s and their popularity in the UK peaked in the late 50s and 60s with the rise of mod culture.
