Volunteers have been hard at work to ensure a major North-East tourist attraction will be open in time for summer.
The Friends of Stonehaven Open Air Pool team has been blessed with mild weather, which has spurred them on as they have been busy preparing the swimming pool for its annual seasonal opening.
The volunteers have already drained the main pool and power-washed it, and is now ready to freshen it up by giving it a lick of specialist paint.
The pool holds 290,000 gallons of water and although the seawater used is heated to 29C, the special coating should last many years.
The open-air pool is scheduled to open on May 26.
Organiser David Dobbie said: “There is still a lot of cleaning to be done, lockers to be put in and a replacement pool cover to be installed.
”Anyone interested in helping prepare the attraction can join the squads at the pool between 1pm and 4pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, and 9am and noon on Saturdays.
The group will also hold a coffee morning on Saturday at St Bridget’s Hall, in Stonehaven, from 10am.
