In pictures: The best of Scotland by the roadside this week
From stars to swans, here are some of this week's best images taken from the roadside.
Welcome to Scotland from the Roadside, a weekly gallery showcasing some of the best images from around the country taken by you.
From opportune moments shot on smartphones to breathtaking landscapes captured in high definition, each week we share a selection of interesting pictures taken by people on their travels around Scotland.
We've partnered up with the Scotland from the Roadside Facebook group, a popular destination for trading photos and stories, which has drawn in more than 86,000 members and 500,000 images to date.
Each Friday, we ask the page's creators, Bruce Philip and Linda Curran, to select their favourite photographs from the week gone by.
This week, admin Fiona Wood takes the reigns to pick out her top images as Bruce and Linda enjoy a well deserved break.
