With stretching sands and grassy embankments looking out to Arran and Ailsa Craig, Irvine Beach offers a relatively peaceful spot to enjoy the Scottish summer. Found at the mouth of the River Irvine, the beach is a slightly quieter alternative to the country’s busier coastal spots and has proved a popular seaside escape for many. However, it will take on a slightly different feel this summer when a new sound installation is put in place. Signal-on-Sea, a large scale environmental music installation by Dutch artists Jeroen Strijbos and Rob Van Rijswijk, will take place at the beach in July as part Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters.

ING said it would propose a 12 cent dividend for the quarter, pending approval from the ECB
ING Groep, the largest Dutch bank, has today beaten fourth-quarter expectations with a €1.05 billion pretax profit helped by lower loan loss provisions and a boom in retail investment.
It topped the €649m expected by analysts, Refinitiv Eikon data showed, though remained well below the €1.34 billion profit it booked a year earlier.
Provisions for bad loans fell 51% to €208m from the same time a year earlier, when the company was forced to write off several large individual corporate loans.
ING s CEO Stephen van Rijswijk said the company is taking sufficient provisions, though they were lower than those of some competitors, and despite a generally negative tone from the European Central Bank.
