Filming for the new James Bond movie has begun in the Scottish Highlands.
Temporary accommodation has been set up for the crew in Aviemore and the Cairngorms.
The new film, which has the working title Bond 25, stars Daniel Craig as 007, Ana de Armas and Oscar-winner Rami Malek.
Scottish locations played a major role in the 2012 James Bond film, Skyfall, including scenes in Glen Coe and Glen Etive.
Eilean Donan Castle also featured as the Scottish headquarters of MI6 in the 1999 James Bond film, The World is Not Enough.
Gare Loch also featured in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Loch Craignish, near Crinan in Argyll, doubled as Turkey for a speedboat chase in 1983’s From Russia With Love starring Sean Connery.
While not commenting specifically on the Bond movie, Highland Council’s film office said it had assisted a number of productions every year.
A spokeswoman told the BBC: “As well as providing an immediate benefit during filming, many of these productions and, most notably, successful movies or well-known TV series also provide a showcase for the area that brings further tourism benefits.”
