A project to create silversmith’s quarters in Banff has been completed by the North East Scotland Preservation Trust.
The derelict, category B listed building has been completely refurbished and converted into three small town houses.
The property is situated at 49 – 54 Bridge Street in the town.
A North East Scotland Preservation Trust spokesman said: “When Government rules allow, the houses will be let out to student silversmiths and others attending courses at the Scottish Centre for Excellence in Silversmithing and visitors to Banff.
“Each house comprises an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space on the ground floor and a double bedroom and shower room upstairs.
“They are finished, furnished, and equipped to a high standard providing accommodation in the heart of the historic town centre.
“The project was made possible by the generous financial support from North Aberdeenshire LEADER programme, Aberdeenshire Council, Historic Environment Scotland, the National Lottery Heritage Fund Scotland and the Pilgrim Trust.”
