A rare Pictish standing stone is to go on display in the window of a Highlands museum that is temporarily closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The 1,200-year-old carved stone was discovered hidden under vegetation at an early Christian church site near Conon Bridge last year.
It is to go on display at a museum in nearby Dingwall next week.
The stone will be positioned so that it can be seen by passers-by through a window facing the High Street.
