Three members of a gospel choir have recorded a fundraising single and video in lockdown to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the mental health charity, Mikeysline.
Mary Dawn Mohun, Emma Fraser and Hayley Airey, who are members of Highland Voices Gospel Choir, carried on singing together while maintaining social distance via a karaoke app.
The trio, named dashh, are releasing their interpretation of Anyone by American singer Demi Lovato.
Mrs Fraser said she and her husband lost a best friend to suicide earlier this year so releasing a single to help support and raise awareness for Mikeysline had been extremely important to all three.
Mrs Mohun said the words of the song were very powerful and resonated with each of them.
"We got chatting among ourselves about how people can appear okay on the outside but are suffering in their heads," said Mrs Mohun, of Beauly.
"That is what the song is about.
"The hope is that if people hear the single Anyone and relate in terms of struggling and needing someone to listen to them, they will know that Mikeysline is there for them alongside the Hive."
She also said the three appeared in the video deliberately dressed up to highlight the importance of recognising that people might appear to be all right when they were not.
The single can be downloaded via iTunes, Amazon music and Spotify.
All profits will go to Mikeysline.
