An Art Deco lido on the Aberdeenshire coast is to be brought back into public use after lying in a state of decay for nearly 30 years.
The Tarlair complex, near Macduff, dates back to the 1930s. Its three pools and pavilion attracted people from far and wide.
However, visitor numbers dwindled, leading to closure in the 1990s.
The BBC reports today that work on a £1.8million project to restore the pavilion is expected to begin next month.
It is hoped the pools themselves will also be restored at a later stage in the project.
Tarlair opened in 1932, bringing a touch of glamour to the north east coast.
However, the surge in foreign holidays and warmer indoor facilities led to its decline as people looked elsewhere.
After years of campaigning, the next step is restoring the pool's pavilion to its former glory. It is expected to re-open early next year.
