A surfing competition which will help in the selection of the Great Britain team for the Tokyo Olympics is to take place in Caithness this weekend.
The qualification event at Thurso was postponed last year due to the Covid pandemic, but can now take place under relaxed Scottish government rules.
Scottish, English and Welsh surfing federations will each have four women and four men taking part.
It is the first time the event has been held in Scotland since 1992.
Caithness last hosted the qualifier in the 1980s. Thurso on the north Caithness coast is renowned for its surfing conditions.
