An Angus town could soon become a hub for community-led tourism after a new pilot scheme was approved.
The Brechin project aims to empower residents and give them more of a say in what the town has to offer, rather than simply welcoming visitors when they pass through.
A steering group has been created, made up of representatives from various parts of the town.
The scheme has been commissioned by SENScot (Social Enterprise Network Scotland) and the Scottish Government.
Sarah Cameron, development manager at SENScot, said it was a completely new idea, which could boost the sense of identity in towns across the country.
