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.

This week, photographers answer the call to choose their top #RemotefromtheRoadside locations, from mountain summits to colourful underwater arches.

Under water at Slaggan Bay by Jane MacLennan

"I was planning to take a video of free-diving through the arch but when I got halfway though, the light was beautiful - sun rays were beaming down through the water and it really enhanced the view of the snorkeller," says Jane.

"I stopped videoing and started taking photos instead. I'm born and bred to Gairloch so Slaggan isn't terribly far away from where I live and I love going there as it's very peaceful."

She adds: "I would think not many people have been in that underwater archway.

"Snorkelling probably isn't the first thing people would think of doing in a holiday to Scotland but what you see can be very colourful and interesting.

"The underwater scenery is awesome."

Reaching the summit by John Dyer‎

"My wife Bernie and I set out to 'bag' one of our first Munros, Ben Lomond, in bright sunshine and wearing T-shirts," says John.

"By the time we neared the summit, though, you could hardly see in front of you and it was pouring with rain.

"So, waterproofs donned, we ploughed on and as we neared the summit, I had carted my camera gear all the way up with me and I was determined to snap a pic so I took this shot of Bernie as she 'raced' ahead of me."

He adds: "Needless to say there was zero vision at the top so the panorama shot will need to be taken on another day.

"It just goes to show though how easy it is to be caught out even on one of the 'easier' Munros

"Still a great experience and this picture sums up the last part of our trek beautifully."

Remote beach by Gary Richardson

"A visit to Sandwood Bay has been on our bucket lists for years so as we were staying so close there was no excuse," says Gary.

"It's a fantastic walk over the moors and we were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves for an hour - just an amazing experience."

Along the old railway line by Lesley Murray

"This was taken while out for a walk along the coast in Moray," says Lesley.

"I thought the tree was interesting as it just shows how windswept the landscape is in the area.

"It's very open to the elements, I caught it on a nice day though. Moray is a beautiful part of Scotland and somewhere I love going back to visit."

Remote river walks by Rachel Angeline Stewart

"We camped overnight in a tent in Lochranza and woke to torrential rain and had to break down camp soaking wet," says Rachel.

"We drove to the south side of the island but couldn't see anything as the fog was so thick we could hardly see the road ahead of us.

"Then somehow when we got into Brodick the sun came out and we decided to drive up to see Cìr mhòr in the sunlight and maybe stretch our legs and we were able to do so in Glen Sannox.

"It was a gorgeous day and it's hard to take a bad photo of such a stunning area!"

Rocky coastal walk by Cat Galbraith

"I was brought up in the Moray area and still enjoy holidays there despite moving away in my teens," says Cat.

"The rock formations and azure blue sky reminded me of parts of the Algarve. This was just a quick snap taken with my phone so I was pleased with the result."

Trekking through the Cairngorms by Linda Ross

"My husband and I live in Evanton, Ross-shire, and enjoy hillwalking - I am also a keen amateur photographer," says Linda.

"So we set out from the Sugarbowl car park to climb the Chalamain Gap and hopefully capture some images of the surrounding landscape from this higher vantage point.

"I also wanted to be a part of the photograph so what better way than to include the rather worn boots that had helped me ascend the Gap and then carry on up to Creag an Leth-choin.

"The views from the summit in between the torrential rain showers was super - we climb mountains not so the world can see us but so we can see the world."

Puffin patrol by Pauline Hackett‎

"I live in Aberdeen and was up at Bullars of Buchan looking for puffins and just followed the coastal path and kept going as it was such a nice day," says Pauline.

"I soon realised I could see Slain's Castle so just took this shot from about over halfway I reckon. Along the way there was a small island covered in lots of different birds.

"I did see puffins in the water, too. Thanks very much for selecting my photo, I am well chuffed."

Secluded beach by Joss Ward ‎

"I was on holiday, staying at Camusdarach for the week," says Joss.

"We were trying lots of local walks and this one from Arisaig village all the way to Rhu peninsula was recommended.

"The weather was amazing and it was so stunning once we reached Port nam Murrach, that I had to take a photo. A couple of kayakers pulled in for lunch and their kayaks made the perfect prop."
