A museum which was at the centre of repeated battles to keep it open could be turned into a house.
Plans have been submitted to transform the former Muthill Museum building into a four-bedroomed home.
The building, which backs onto Muthill Old Church and Tower, was closed in 2015 despite a campaign to retain it.
The Category C listed building dates from around 1760 and was used as a house until being turned into the museum in 1980.
The facility faced closure in 2011 but was saved following the election of a new committee.
The committee folded in November 2014 and the museum closed its doors in January the following year.
According to documents lodged with Perth and Kinross Council, the single storey extension to the side of the building would be raised to two storeys.
The downstairs display area would be transformed into a living room, with a kitchen in the extension, while the second storey would house two bedrooms and a bathroom. Two further bedrooms would be put on the third floor.
Muthill was one of a number of small, locally-run folk museums dotted about Perth and Kinross.
Like Muthill, the Breadalbane Folklore Centre was faced with permanent closure.
Set in an old textile mill overlooking the Falls of Dochart, it ceased operation in 2011 due to budget cuts, but reopened due to the determination of locals.
It now operates a thrift shop and an arts and craft store and there are plans to restore the mill to working condition.
Aberfeldy Water Mill is also set in a former mill, though this site was used to grind oats. It has gone through several incarnations to reach its current form.
After its closure as a mill in 1983, it was renovated and reopened as a working heritage site. Then in 2004 it was converted again into its current guise as a combination heritage site, bookstore, and cultural venue.
