Welcome to Scotland from the Roadside, a weekly gallery showcasing some of the best images from around the country taken by you.

From opportune moments shot on smartphones to breathtaking landscapes captured in high definition, each week we share a selection of interesting pictures taken by people on their travels around Scotland.

We have partnered up with the Scotland from the Roadside Facebook group, a popular online destination for trading photos and stories, which has drawn in more than 120,000 members.

This week page's creators Bruce Philip and Linda Curran asked members to dig out their favourite images of buildings across Scotland which are now used for a different purpose than when they were originally built.

From a Georgian mansion which held prisoners of war to a former waterworks now utilised as a gallery, here are some of Scotland's unusual buildings which have been refurbished throughout the years.

White House at Templar's Park by Mike Brown

"I've taken groups of Boy Scouts from the USA to Scotland every even-numbered year since 1996 for the Blair Atholl Jamborette," Mike says.

"We spend the week before the Jamborette touring around Scotland, and on several trips we've stayed overnight at the White House at Templar's Park.

"It's quite an experience for the Scouts to spend a night at a house which was built a century before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock."

"It was built originally by the architect marshall when he designed Rose Terrace named after his wife Rose Marshall.

"Sometimes the building gets scruffy as the cement render and paint flakes and then when repainted reminds me of a delicious chocolate gateaux.

"I was photographing the park and river, and when standing under this building at the corner I thought it very imposing."

"I live in the vicinity of the village hall and thought it was a nice picture in the snow.," Helen says.

"The hall is the main hub of the community, I myself have used it for over 50 years.

"This is where all the Christmas parties, Halloween parties, games dance, New Year dance is held. It's a very traditional Scottish village hall.

"As we are a very small village it is really down to all the people in the background who organise things."

"It was designed by Dr Adam Anderson, the rector of Perth Academy, and completed in 1832.

"In 1914 it was converted to allow road vehicles to cross as well trains, though not at the same time.

"In 1966 the branch line closed and the bridge was converted to road and pedestrian use.
