One of renowned architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh's finest buildings is celebrating its centenary.
A number of events have been planned to mark the 100th birthday of Scotland Street School in Glasgow.
Visitors will create a lasting memento of the event by submitting paintings, drawings and messages to a new exhibit.
A number of anniversary events will be held on Wednesday ahead of the annual reunion/open day which is scheduled for next month.
A great time
Councillor John Lynch, executive member for Cultural and Leisure Services at Glasgow City Council, said: "This is a fantastic milestone for one of the city's finest buildings and a fitting chance to mark the genius of Mackintosh as we prepare for the festival commemorating his achievements next month.
"I am sure everyone who comes along to the centenary event will have a great time."
The annual Reunion/Open Day at Scotland Street School Museum will take place on Saturday 9 September between 1030 BST and 1700 BST, another event marking 100 years since pupils first entered the doors of the then school.
Now a restored Grade 'A' listed building, the school was designed by Mackintosh to provide schooling for 1,250 children from the Kingston area of the city.
The building, which is now a museum, closed as a school in 1979 after 73 years as an active primary school.
Major festival
The decline of the local industries, demolition of the surrounding tenements and building of the M8 motorway and Kingston Bridge contributed to the decline of the community and the school.
Mackintosh's most noted architectural works include Hill House in Helensburgh, The Willow Tearooms in Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, and Glasgow School of Art.
The first major festival celebrating Mackintosh's work was launched this year. The event is expected to draw an extra 150,000 visitors to Glasgow in September.
All aspects of Mackintosh's work will be highlighted through a series of exhibitions, talks, tours and films, as well as musical and dramatic interpretations.
