A historic site in the Stewartry will welcome back visitors next month.
Dundrennan Abbey is set to open its doors from Friday, June 4.
Historic Environment Scotland (HES) is reopening a number of sites across the country as coronavirus restrictions continue to be eased.
However, there is no indication yet as to when any of its other Stewartry properties – such as Threave Castle and MacLellan’s Castle in Kirkcudbright – will open again, although it is likely to be the summer.
Chief executive of HES Alex Paterson said: “We are pleased to announce even more of our sites reopening up and down the country, providing visitors with the opportunity to enjoy much loved heritage attractions once again.
“With more than 5,000 years of history in our care we’ve adopted a phased approach to reopening, providing as diverse a mix of attractions as possible, as well as reviewing and implementing the individual reopening requirements of each site in line with Scottish Government guidance.
“We are now looking forward to welcoming visitors back to even more sites, providing further opportunity to enjoy Scotland’s diverse and globally renowned historic environment.”
Dundrennan Abbey plays an important part in Scottish history.
It was the place Mary Queen of Scots spent her last hours in Scotland.
