A ticket office at a railway station in West Dunbartonshire has been transformed into a mini-Sistine Chapel in tribute to Scotland's greatest king.
Trains still stop at Renton train station, but the ceiling of the platform building is now covered in colourful paintings of Robert the Bruce.
Local historians say the King spent a number of years in the small village of Renton, before dying there in 1329.
In 1325 he chose to bring his royal court to the rural Parish of Cardross. In the area near Renton village he extended a hunting lodge, turning it into a Royal Manor House.
The station was transformed by a group of local volunteers who want to promote the history of Renton village and the links to Robert the Bruce.
