EXPERTS were amazed by the discovery of the 2ft high plant which was growing in a mound of rotting seaweed at the mouth of the River Doon.
IT'S pot luck it has taken root but a cannabis plant has been discovered growing wild at a popular beauty spot.
The amazing find was made by a horse rider who couldn't believe what she was seeing.
The two-foot high plant was discovered on a sandbank at the mouth of the River Doon, Ayr.
It has been growing all season, boosted by nutrition from seaweed and weeks of dry, hot weather.
Experts have described the find as "very rare indeed" and police say they have never come across anything like it in the area.
The horsewoman said: "I thought I was seeing things and took a photograph.
"Everyone I showed it to knew what it was straight away - it was unmistakable. It must be a very plucky bush indeed because it is the only one there."
The precise position of the potent weed was given to police so it could be destroyed.
Max Coleman, of the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, said: "This is not common at all, especially such a mature bush. The seeds can be in bird feed mixes and get out into the environment.
