The red carpet was rolled out at an Easter Ross care home as residents celebrated the movies with their own mock Oscars ceremony.

It was a case of ‘lights, camera, action’ at Innis Mhor in Tain – renamed Inniswood for the occasion - as residents assumed the role of Oscar winning actors to claim a series of top showbiz prizes. Later, residents took to the dance floor and also sang some of their favourite songs.

There was a double celebration for one resident, Gordon Mackay, named Best Actor. The leading man also celebrated his 95th birthday at the weekend.

Jackie Macrae, manager at Innis Mhor care home, said: “Everyone loves a trip to the movies so we thought we'd bring a touch of ‘tinseltown’ to Tain with our very own Oscars ceremony. It was the residents' idea to celebrate Hollywood and it gave us all a chance to dress up for the special occasion. We may be far removed from LA, but we know how to throw a showbiz party at Innis Mhor!”
