A community group that was set up solely to secure a long-term use for the Loreburn Hall in Dumfries is on the verge of a takeover of the building.
The Drill Hall Initiative, founded by Sandy Sweetman and Simon Robertson, was formed three years ago to establish a sustainable future for the then vacant facility.
Its members have ambitions to turn the historic building into an affordable event space which community groups, young people and local businesses can utilise.
