Led by Dunoon CARS officer Feargal de Buiteléir, the event will take the form of a walk around Argyll Street before being followed by a seminar with presentations, slideshows and giveaways. Attendees will also receive a free copy of the Tenement Handbook.

Council Leader Aileen Morton said: "This is a free of charge event that will benefit owners of tenement and traditional properties in the area.

"It will inform home owners of the signs to look out for that could show their homes and commercial properties have suffered damage and what to do next.

"It will be a very informative event led and supported by people experienced in the conservation, repair and maintenance of traditional properties and a great opportunity for owners to arm themselves with invaluable guidance."
