“A study in miniature of River Street would allow for engagement with individuals, families past and present, community groups, primary schools and the photographic society.
"It would be an opportunity for the Civic Trust to embark on a significant reboot project during its 51st year.”
Although Mr Scrimgeour said that the project could present a variety of outcomes, the end result would not be evident until sufficient progress had been made.

He added: “Regardless of the outcomes, the “journey” itself is the important thing.”
The open meeting will be held this Tuesday (May 16) at 7pm and both individuals and members of local community groups will be welcome to attend.
