A community activist has been helping transform Thurso s town centre with a major flower-planting initiative and hopes that local people will support his Adopt a Rose campaign.
Alexander Glasgow, along with some help from a few other green-fingered locals, put the finishing touches to rose gardens at Olrig Street and Riverside Road â largely funded by local man Roger Broughton.
Self-confessed gnome fan, Alexander, said: Planting is finished with almost 100 heeled-in with topsoil to their new homes and all look healthy.
