Tracey Little is ready to put her stamp on the provost of Dumfries role after being chosen for the lead civic position once again.
Having previously been a figurehead for the local authority for the past five years, Councillor Little is now preparing to don the chains and gown for the next five.
Only one female served as provost before Ms Little, Jean McMurdo, and she was delighted to be returned during the first council meeting of the new term this week.
