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.

Sunrise at Dunnydeer Hillfort by Andy McDonald

"This has to be one of my favourite places in Aberdeenshire," says Andy. "Being fascinated with the past and archaeology, I have always been drawn to these sites and often wondered what they were like in the past.

"Using a small aperture allowed me to capture the sunburst effect as the sun just came over the horizon."

Highland rush hour by Sabine Schiffers‎

"I liked the fantastic purple of the heather and these three sheep," says Sabine. "It looks like the first one is saying 'Come on boys, let's go'."

Glencoe Lochan by Katherine Fotheringham

"I visited Glencoe Lochan in the hope of finding it still for a reflection photo," says Katherine.

"This duck followed me around the Lochan causing ripples as it swam so I didn't quite get the photo I came for, but I'm happy the duck gave me something a bit different."

Scarp and Cravadale from the sky by Chris Murray

"I spend some of my spare time walking in places like this and am lucky enough to have a job as a winchman on board Coastguard helicopters," says Chris.

"So the opportunity arises from time to time for an aerial shot or two of these spectacular places."

Tobermory basking in the sunshine by Paul Masterton

"In order to get the best location to shoot this scene, it would have meant going onto someone's side garden," says Paul.

"Fortunately, two minutes after we arrived and realised this, the owner came out and we asked the lady if it would be possible to take the shot.

"She was more than happy for us to do so. Another great example of how friendly us Scots are."

Durness sunset by Ian Horne

"We spent the last few years camping all over Scotland, our passion is photographing distilleries and we have been to most of them," says Ian.

"On our travels we always took our dog Kobi along with us, ferries to the islands, anything we did he did with us. Once every year we spent a few days in Durness with him as it was the first camping trip we took him on.

"He was known as the whisky on tour dog, as in a roundabout way it was him that started the whole thing. When taking him for a walk one day I also took the camera and a bottle of Old Pulteney, took some pics of the bottle and its taken off from that day.

"The Durness picture is extra special now as it was our last trip with him as he went over the rainbow bridge a couple of months ago."

The Quiraing by Steve Millar

"I just think the shot shows that special 'electric' lime green we get here on Skye," says Steve.

"And, in late evening, we usually get The Quiraing all to ourselves."

Islay beach by Kevin Morrison

"This picture was taken at Saligo Bay on the west coast of Islay," says Kevin.

Morning in Assynt by Bernie Gajos

"I have travelled to Assynt for many years with our campervan staying at Clachtoll most times," says Bernie.

"Travelling in Assynt, I have seen the most beautiful scenery in all weathers, and one morning on my way home the view from the roadside compelled me to stop at the viewpoint and hike a bit to get my photograph."

North Uist by Gary Paul

"This picture is of an incoming storm of North Uist," says Gary.
