Funding of £1.5 million is going towards tackling empty buildings in Dumfries town centre.
The Dumfries Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS), Dumfries Partnership Action Group (DPAG), Historic Environment Scotland (HES) and the council have come together to develop Dynamically Different Dumfries.
The project focuses on the high number of vacant units and low numbers of residential occupancy in the town centre.
