Auchinleck's famous Railway Hotel is set to be demolished.
A popular venue for weddings, birthday parties and dinners, the hotel closed its doors for good back in September 2020.
The closure happened very suddenly at the time, with staff being made aware of the decision one week, and the hotel closing the next.
Locals were stunned and saddened to see the once-thriving venue shut its doors for good.
Since then, it has lain empty, with punters keen to see the building brought back to life and used in some capacity.
