PLANS are being hatched to create a Friends of the Auld Kirkyard group in a bid to cash in on recent archaeology discoveries.
Earlier this year an archaeological survey uncovered the underground remains of a medieval chapel in Selkirk where it is believed William Wallace was made Guardian of Scotland.
In September enthusiasts gathered in the grounds to witness a re-enactment of the 1297 proclamation.
And a medieval fayre was held at the nearby Haining with several Wallace experts providing talks.
Discussions have since taken place with The Society of William Wallace in Scotland as well as The Society of William Wallace USA over highlighting the connections between Selkirk and the freedom fighter.
Selkirk community councillor Ian King said: "Meetings about how the kirk yard should be interpreted in the future are taking place.
"The creation of a Friends of the Auld Kirkyard seems a logical step."
Last week's community council meeting was told that signs and benches within the Auld Kirkyard had been cleaned.
And the railings and gates were in line to be refurbished and repainted in the coming months.
