A classic car tour along scenic Highland roads has raised money for cancer care charity helping growing numbers each year.
The event, promoted by Inverness Loch Ness Rotarians, benefited Maggie's Highlands which was presented with a cheque for £2000.
A variety of cars, including some sports vehicles, were flagged off from Inverness and were driven across the region as far as Gairloch.
Along the way, participants stopped occasionally to take photographs of the views of the lochs and mountains.
Tribute has been paid to Nicol Manson and Ormond Smith who established the first classic car tour for the rotary club and who have raised thousands of pounds over the years for local charities.
The money raised for Maggie's Highlands, which has a centre in the grounds of Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, was presented to its fundraising organiser, Mia Pimm.
"We would like to thank the Inverness Loch Ness Rotary, and everyone involved in organising and taking part in this brilliant car tour," Ms Pimm said.
"The money raised will allow us to continue to provide support to people in the Highlands and Islands who are newly diagnosed with cancer each year.
"This vital service is delivered by our team of highly qualified professional staff. We also support the children, family and friends of anyone across the Highlands and Islands living with cancer.
"Last year, we provided 19,500 support sessions, and this number continues to grow each year.
"We couldn’t do this without everyone’s support."
