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 100,000 members.

Each week, we ask the page's creators, Bruce Philip and Linda Curran, to select their favourite photographs posted by keen snappers.

As they enjoy a well deserved break, page admin Fiona Wood stepped in to select some of the spectacular shots shared this week.

A fountain on Rothesay by Stuart Sanderson

"This picture was taken on a day trip to Rothesay on Sunday," explains Stuart.

"I had seen the fountain the last time I was there so I had the camera to get the shot I was looking for."

Achmelvich Beach by Carol Beveridge

"We were climbing on Suilven, sleeping in the Land Rover (Larry) and this was the best place to have breakfast," explains Carol.

"I like to wander about to catch a better shot so I climbed up and caught the colour of the water. This was mid-morning.

"We've been talking about buying kayaks so was kinda memorised watching them and their colours against the sea colours."

Sunset at the Callanish Stones by Katherine Fotheringham

"This was my first visit to Callanish," explains Katherine.

"I was blown away by how beautiful the stones looked in the evening light."

Mr Sam and the sunset by Jim Wyllie

"I was snapping away along the shoreline and was trying different settings, filters and so on," explains Jim.

"When I turned round to see Mr Sam, what was he up to? I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him standing on the rock watching the sea view sunset.

"I then quickly pointed and shot several pics of Mr Sam on the rock. He actually stood watching the sunset behind Arran, for about five minutes, which I was pleased to capture.

"I come to Culzean Castle pretty often, as it's only a 40 minute drive from where I stay in East Renfrewshire. It's an amazing place to explore with many hidden treasures for Mr Sam to find."

Elgol on Skye by Karen Daly

"I visited Skye this weekend for a short stay and the weather was amazing," Karen says.

"Elgol was on our list to visit and we weren't disappointed, the colours and sun shining made this beach look breathtakingly beautiful with the most amazing colours.

"I will definitely be returning to Skye and I'd recommend anyone to visit as it's just simply stunning."

A red squirrel in Tentsmuir Forest by Eric Niven

Eric says: "This wee red squirrel was in Tentsmuir Forest in Fife where I often stop when I am out cycling.

"They enjoy a nut or two, including nutty people taking photos."

Grey Corries Ridge By Stuart Ross

"This is the view north east from midway along the Grey Corries ridge towards the highest peak in the group, Stob Choire Claurigh (SCC)," explains Stuart.

"With an early start to beat the forecast heat, Caley, our Labrador and myself have already visited this summit and have a second Munro to take in. SCC is the 15th highest Munro and the graceful ridge rarely drops below 3000 feet.

"On this beautiful Saturday morning, the views were quite spectacular. Ben Lomond was easy to pick out in the south, the jagged Skye mountains were clearly visible out north west and most prominent to the south west, the massive cliff face of Ben Nevis.

"I have included Caley and I for some sense of scale, the camera perched on a cairn on a long timer. SCC is probably my favourite hill which fortunately is the Munro nearest to my front door in Roy Bridge."

General Wade's bridge by Sorley MacDonald

Sorley said: "This photo was taken while cycling over the pass and back to Inverness yesterday.

"It is one of General Wade's bridges, still solid after standing since 1731. It's at the southern end of the Corrieyairack Pass."

Badger hiding in the gorse by Peter Lewis

Peter says: "This ph otograph of a badger was taken at my local sett today. Maybe playing 'Peek a Boo, I see you', as it came out through the gorse bushes."
