BBC Debate Night is set to visit Ullapool, with locals from “all walks of life” invited to share their opinions for the political discussion show.
The BBC One Scotland show is travelling around the country on Wednesday evenings, and has shared plans to visit Wester Ross on March 18.
The programme is set to bring together a panel of top guests with an audience of local voices, sparking a drive to get as many local people involved as possible.
Presenter, Stephen Jardine said: “Debate Night is the only television programme of its kind in Scotland. It gives you the opportunity to put your questions to the country’s decision-makers and public figures.
“We want people from all walks of life. You might be a parent, a carer or a student. Perhaps you run a business or are a frontline worker. Retired, self-employed, unemployed or just starting out in the workplace — we need you.
“It’s your questions, stories, experiences and opinions that lead our discussion — so we couldn’t do it without you!”
