A STEWARTON firefighter has been celebrated as he retires from the role after two decades.

James 'Muir' Young was hailed during a special presentation at Stewarton Community Fire Station.

In attendance with the crew was area commander Ian McMeekin and members of James' family, who celebrated the 20 years and 51 days Muir has given to Stewarton and the surrounding area.

A fire station spokesperson said: "Throughout the last 20 years he has put his life on the farm on hold to attend a variety of incidents in our community during people’s time of need.

"We are sure you will join us in congratulating and thanking Muir for his service! His level of experience and knowledge on offer to the crew will be greatly missed."
