People are being asked to volunteer ahead of the reopening of a historic castle in the Borders.
Thirlestane Castle in Lauder will be open to the public in a couple of months.
The volunteer group, Friends of Thirlestane, provide information on the castle’s history and the Maitland family who have resided in the castle since 1590 to visitors.
Charitable Trust, which own and manage the castle, say they rely on an income from tourists and visitors.
