\n Robyn Archibald was crowned the first-ever winner of the Ayrshire regional final of the Miss Great Britain competition.\n<\/p>\n
\n Twenty-three inspiring women from across Ayrshire took to the stage, impressing judges and a packed audience of 400 guests with their confidence, elegance and commitment to making a difference in their communities.\n<\/p>\n
\n The evening culminated in the crowning of three winners, with Robyn from Ayr being named Miss Great Britain Ayrshire 2026.\n<\/p>\n
\n Robyn admits she was in “complete shock” after being crowned the winner on the night.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: “The night itself was amazing with hundreds of people watching, and everything was done to perfection.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We did interviews in the morning and then three walking rounds on the night. I really wanted to win but honestly didn’t expect it.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The next day I had loads of messages and I still don’t think I’ve replied to everyone yet.\n<\/p>\n
\n “People don’t realise it’s all very charity driven and it meant I could continue raising funds for Cancer Research UK, which is a cause close to my heart.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Following her win, Robyn has been raising funds for the charity after her dad and grandpa were diagnosed with cancer last year.\n<\/p>\n
\n She explained: “I’ve been going to appointments with them and it made me realise what people are going through.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I wanted to give something back, so a big part of my Miss Great Britain journey has been raising funds and awareness.\n<\/p>\n

\n “I’ve raised around \u00a32,400 so far, which included a croquet day in Loans back in August which went so well.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It is quite niche but my gran and grandpa have always been a part of the croquet club and societies.\n<\/p>\n
\n “My grandpa got us all into it from a really young age and we would always do a family and friends day, so this year all money went to Cancer Research UK.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I’ve also got the Glasgow Half Marathon in October and I’m doing an abseil down in London a few days before too.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Robyn has now set her sights on the Miss Great Britain national competition, set to take place next month in Leicester.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: “Winning the Ayrshire regional heat has been fantastic. It’s given me opportunities with businesses and also the chance to get into modelling.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The national competition is a whole other world and will require a lot of practicing before then.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I am really looking forward to the competition and the chance to meet people from all across the UK.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Ava Morgan, who is from Ayr and was crowned Miss Great Britain two years ago, has been so helpful during the whole process.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robyn Archibald was crowned the first-ever winner of the Ayrshire regional final of the Miss Great Britain competition.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":762087,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-762086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=762086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/762087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=762086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=762086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=762086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
