A PHOTO of massive waves coming over on to the road on the outskirts of 'Ardrossan' isn't in the town, it's in England.

The photo, below, has been taking social media by storm this afternoon with many believing it to be the roundabout heading towards Seamill and West Kilbride.

But if you look closely you will see there is no grass on the roundabout, there is a red fence on the bottom right which isn't in Ardrossan and the onlookers stand on a pavement.

The real roundabout looks a lot different, as seen below.
