A 75-year-old former soldier is cycling the North Coast 500 route for charity.
Jonathan Thomson, a former Royal Marine, set off from Inverness Castle at 8am, determined to conquer the North Coast 500 route in aid of PTSD Resolution, a charity that helps veterans, reservists and their families who have suffered trauma in the armed services.
Sent on his way by Councillor Carolyn Caddick, she received a special plaque from Jonathan to mark the occasion.
A group of local fiddlers also played to mark his departure.
His aim is to complete the route within the week.
