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 95,000 members.

Each Friday, we ask the page's creators, Bruce Philip and Linda Curran, to select their favourite photographs posted by keen snappers, from still lochs and mountain sunrises to raindrops in the heather.

Raindrops in the heather by Karen Daly

"I got this shot on the Isle of Skye while visiting at the weekend," says Karen.

"It was beautiful with a low mist lying on the land, the heather looked amazing lit up by wonderful droplets.

"I couldn't resist them."

A stag up Glen Etive by Russell Walker

"I took this shot on a trip to the area with other members of Livingston Camera Club," says Russell.

"We left Livingston at 6am to catch the best of the light on Rannoch Moor but on the day the weather and light were poor.

"We took a drive down Glen Etive and on the way out, spotted three stags on the verge at the roadside.

"They had the fence line behind them so I approached this one from the side so I could capture the mountains and cloud in the background.

"My best shot of the day and a real highlight."

Sunrise walk at Rattray Head by Mark Grant

"It was an early morning dog walk on Sunday with my wee boy, Hamish, and I always keep my camera handy for our walks in case we come across any great views or wildlife," says Mark.

"It is a favourite spot of ours as it is always so quiet with few visitors, often we have the beach to ourselves and enjoy exploring the beach and dunes."

Prehistoric rock art by Caroline Anderson

"Having watched a little film Kilmartin Museum made about how special the area is in terms of prehistoric rock art, we braved the weather to revisit Achnabreck where there are lots of beautiful examples," says Caroline.

"The wet day made the cup and ring marks more visible. It was truly like walking into the ancient past."

Snowmen by the roadside by Simon Williams

"I passed these little snowmen in the way up the pass and stopped on the way back as they were a blatant shot to be had," says Simon.

"Two snowmen enjoying Scotland from the roadside!"

Breakfast on the go by Allan Brown

"I took this shot last March in Kinross," says Allan. "I had been photographing them almost daily, hoping to get something special.

"The day I took this shot, the owl had already made three kills but they were taken by a pair of kestrels.

"It managed to keep this vole and swallow it before the kestrels could move in."

Bellevue Crescent in Edinburgh by Glenn McNaughton

"I was having a wee wander around Edinburgh's New Town with my camera and found myself here, in Bellevue Crescent for the first time," says Glenn.

"I was struck by the beautiful curving street and the distinctive church in the centre, when I noticed the basements with all the railings and I thought it might make a nice, simple composition.

"It seemed to suit black and white too as it was a grey day."

Foggy morning over the loch by Martin Ross

"My wife and I took a trip to North Third reservoir to take pictures on Saturday morning," says Martin.

"It was foggy and the small islands on the reservoir came in and out of view. This is one of the images I captured that morning."

Out for a stroll by Nigel Wedge

"Getting close to that time again when the testosterone starts flowing again," says Nigel.

"Black Grouse are protected and as such have the highest protection. I came across this lek when I was searching for short eared owls.

"The sounds of the leking grouse was something I will never forget. I kept my distance and only broke cover when the last bird left."

Bucket bridge over the river by Robert Gibb

"I was intending driving to the end off the road in Glen Etive to get to the stunning Loch Etive and as passing this pulley bridge I thought it was a bit unusual," says Robert.

"Somehow the stunning Glen Etive is often missed by most folk instead for Glencoe."
