The Association’s feline colleague Ruby Craig says “many have been focusing on their gardens and non-human companions during the lock-down, So I’m hoping for a bumper crop of entries this year!”

Tenants and their families are asked to send photos of their gardens and companions to Ruby with a story.

When Ruby is not supporting the Association’s publicity efforts, she is busy making all its new developments friendly for non-human residents. Recently, she ensured that ‘swift bricks’ have been designed into 52 houses on which work will start in Troon this year. These will provide much-needed nesting places for visiting swifts.
