THE death of a 22-year-old Scottish man has sparked a police appeal for two people spotted at a Scottish railway station over the weekend to come forward.
It comes after officers were called to a report of a seriously injured person at Ramsay Court, Scott Crescent, in Troon on Saturday night.
Emergency services attended at around 11:40pm on July 6, but 22-year-old Callum Pollock was pronounced dead at the scene.
Tributes have been paid to Pollock, a Rangers fan from Cumnock, on social media.
“Rip Callum, will cherish our memories,” one user wrote.

“Forever 22. Callum Pollock rest easy wee man. Never forget you wee man,” another said.
A 34-year-old has been arrested and charged in connection with the death. He appeared at Ayr Sheriff Court on Monday, 8 July 2024.
However, police investigations remain ongoing and officers are looking to speak to a male and female seen at Troon railway station at around midnight on Saturday, July 6.
Detective Inspector Keith Runcie said: “Our thoughts are with Callum’s family and everyone affected by his death.
“Our investigations are ongoing.
“We believe that the male who was subsequently arrested spoke with a male and female whilst awaiting a train at Troon railway station around midnight on Saturday, July 6 into Sunday, July 7, and we would like to speak to these people.
“We would ask that they contact police via telephone number 101 quoting incident number 4300 of 6 July 2024.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
