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 90,000 members and 500,000 images to date.

Each Friday, the page's creators, Bruce Philip and Linda Curran, select some of their favourite images to share.

This week, photographers have captured some magical scenes, from gardens carpeted with burnt orange leaves to a green loch hidden in the Highlands.

Autumn reflections on Loch Eil by Arthur Foster

"I have a caravan on Linnhe Holiday Park, have been up there for 13 years," says Arthur.

"I have been visiting Scotland for the last 25 years. My home town is Hull in Yorkshire.

"I see the train go by every day I at Linnhe and always check that I have a nice calm loch."

Blue hour at Eilean Donan by Myra Watson‎

"I love the Highlands and this is my first trip north since taking up photography two years ago," explains Myra.

"Eilean Donan is an iconic castle pictured fairly regularly. But I have always wanted a photo that I could call my own so with a few friends, we ventured north with Skye and Eilean Donan in mind.

"It is always a challenge to take a good photo on a slightly different take than what has been done before and that is what I was trying to achieve.

"The blue hour is also a very special time, so to capture this iconic landmark at this time was a very special bonus for me."

The Twelve Apostles by David Kelso

"I live in Sannox and often take a drive over the hill with my camera to Catacol and Lochranza, especially just before sundown when the colours are most vibrant," David says.

The Green Loch by Gray Smith

"I was visiting my sister and her family who live in Aviemore," explains Gray.

"My nephew Danny had said he would take me to see the 'Green Loch' as the colour of the water was amazing, so one evening we visited the loch and I was stunned by the colours.

"The camera and tripod were set up and I began framing the shot. The wooden platform I shot from moves when anyone walks on it so myself and Danny were frozen to the spot whilst taking the shots."

Ceannabeinne Beach by Allan Donald

"I visited the beautiful Ceannabeinne beach while on a trip around Scotland's North Coast," Allan says.

"It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Scotland has to have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world!"

The waterfall at Glamis Den by Jim Barclay

"I took the photo while on an outing with a few friends from Arbroath amateur photography club," explains Jim.

"I liked the way the autumn leaves were sitting around the waterfall making it a very colourful scene."

A surprise visitor by Susan Spink

"The robin sneaked in through a slight gap that had been left open in the door," explains Susan.

"Nearly a year I have been out and about with my camera trying to photograph a robin and never got close enough to one, and this one just came in and perched itself on the office window ledge.

"As soon as I took a pic with my mobile it flew out the door again, it was as if it knew!"

A fairy house carved by Patrick Muir‎ and photographed by Jim Duncan

"This picture was taken by my friend Jim and the carving was done by myself over six hours," explains Patrick.

"Sadly the tree was blown over in a storm many years ago and the stump remained dead and unattractive.

"I'm new to carving and I saw an opportunity to practice on this stump and to add a little magic to Levengrove Park.

"This fairy literally is by the roadside next to Woodyard Road, Dumbarton."

An otter on the rocks by Greg Carr

"I live locally and I was having a quiet Tuesday evening as the light was just setting when we spotted this otter playing in the water in the bay," Greg says.

"I decided to grab my camera with my recently bought lens attached. I tried to creep up on the otter thinking I could get a cracking shot of it from the rocks but to my surprise, it met me on the rocks and then stood for me for a while."

An autumnal day in October by Karen Farquhar

"I live locally to the area of Gairloch, which is six miles from Inverewe Garden," Karen says.

"What inspired me was it was raining, yes raining, and thought 'wow look at the autumn colours'.

"They seemed to just jump out at me and I spent a good while just wandering around taking photos."
