Celebrated Scottish artist Alasdair Gray returned to the Riverside Bar in Kirkfieldbank to put the finishing touches to his celebrated Falls of Clyde mural.
Alasdair (76) was joined by assistant Robert Salmon as he fished painting two faces on the spectacular mural, which was originally created by him in 1969 and restored last year.
The faces in question are those of Beth and Joe McCulloch, old friends of Alasdair's, who visited him when he was finishing the original work 41 years ago.
Alasdair said: "Originally the mural had only one face, Beth's, but the original manageress did not like it and actually covered it up with a curtain.
"She also managed to cover up Bonnington Linn and Tinto Hill in the background!
"That part of the wall also had water leaking through, which meant it was then re-plastered and wallpapered.
"The original face was a lot larger and I think there were a couple of employees who were spooked by it.
"We made both faces smaller this time around.
"Beth and Joe came from Glasgow to see me in 1969. They are old friends."
Alasdair famously created the mural for then owner Jim Campbell over 40 years ago and slept on the floor of the then Kirkfieldbank Tavern.
Despite Jim revealing he would only be paid if he liked the finished work, Alasdair created the masterpiece in three weeks and even enjoyed a couple of drams along the way.
The mural was covered up by a previous manageress and was rediscovered by new owner Andy Boyle, who was desperate for Alasdair to return to restore the mural to its former glory.
Andy said: "The manageress covered up the head because she was spooked by it. I think she thought it was following her around the room.
"When Alasdair came back a few months ago he had lined a face in one evening. However, that weekend one of the girls, who works at the restaurant, was really spooked by it too.
"I found that quite strange because she hadn't a clue about the history of the mural.
"What I really like about the faces is that they are the only living things in the mural."
The Falls of Clyde is unique amongst Alasdair's murals as it is the only one that features an actual existing, rather than imaginary, landscape.
It is also one of only three murals he has painted outside Glasgow.
Outside of painting, Alasdair is also a successful author with his 1981 novel Lanark being one of his most celebrated pieces.
