Twelve inspiring individuals turned models for one night of fashion and strong emotions at an Inverness fundraising event last weekend.
Catwalk for a Cause, which returned to the Drumossie Hotel on Saturday, was a success raising £70,000 for the Highland Hospice.
The night saw the models – each one having battled with cancer or lost a loved one because of it – sharing their stories of hope and strength to a captivated audience.
With Miss Scotland Chelsie Allison and Natalie Woodward – who suffers from metastatic bowel cancer and has been raising awareness on the condition since her diagnosis – as special guests of the event, the night also saw two performances by Ness Factor winner Joanne Ross.
Head Gardener salon owner and event organiser, Alison McRitchie, said: "As ever, it's always overwhelming, the love and the support in the room – I always say I wish I could bottle it.
"It just makes everything get bigger and better every year.
"The stories that these guys share in front of a packed audience, if anyone takes something away from it – hope, strength or inspiration – that's what Catwalk for a Cause is all about."
