AN historic building at the heart of an Easter Ross royal burgh is set to come under the spotlight this weekend.
Tain Picture House will be featured on the Doors Open Days project, which is going online this weekend.
Tain and District Development Trust said it was "delighted" with its inclusion.
The French Renaissance-style former town hall by Andrew Maitland and Sons (1874-76) was converted for use as a cinema in the 1920s.
The building features painted portraits on the walls and has interesting panelling.
Tain and District Development Trust has secured funding to carry out essential repairs to make the former town hall wind and water tight.
The group are now working on raising the major capital funding to enable the building to be restored to its former glory.
Doors Open Days runs this weekend on September 5 and 6.
This year the project has been adapted into a virtual experience.
Other buildings featured include Cromarty Courthouse Museum, Groam House Museum,
