The red carpet in place for Friday's grand opening.

Red carpet glamour and a touch of Hollywood visited Aberfeldy on Friday night as Golden Ticket winners from across the Highlands attended the opening of The Birks Cinema.

But while Tom Cruise’s Oblivion was on the bill, he wasn’t the only Hollywood star grabbing the limelight.

Scottish actor Alan Cumming was there “in the moment” with this specially pre-recorded welcome for avid movie fans who’d managed to secure a coveted Golden Ticket for the opening night event.

Cumming, who has agreed to be the cinema’s official patron, opened with lines from the Robert Burns’ poem The Birks of Aberfeldy before welcoming the audience and congratulating the local community on their success in bringing the project to fruition.
