KILMARNOCK has been named the cheapest place in Scotland for a pint.

Research by Fast Loan UK found the average cost of a pint in the East Ayrshire town is just £3.25, making it the most affordable spot in the country.

By comparison, Dundee came in second at £3.67, while several towns including Ayr, Falkirk and Greenock tied for third place at £4.

It was named the cheapest place in Scotland, and second cheapest in the UK just behind Bury.

Joe Brunt from Fast Loan UK said: "What our study really highlights is that the great British pint is still very much alive and affordable; you just need to know where to look.

"The price of a pint can vary dramatically depending on where you are in the country, and that variation threw up some genuinely surprising results.

"Some of the cheapest places to drink also happen to have fantastic, well-reviewed local pubs."
