A new £13.9m clubhouse is opening to members at Royal Dornoch Golf Club in Sutherland.
The improved facilities have been created ahead of the course celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2027.
The new clubhouse has been built with traditional sandstone and slate and has a modern restaurant, bar and locker rooms.

It also has many items on display to highlight the rich golfing history of the club.
An official opening event will be held some time next year.
Royal Dornoch general manager Neil Hampton said the club wanted to create an iconic space that told its story.
«You’ll get some of the characters, some of the trophies, some of the great events that have happened,» he said.
«Our old clubhouse was nice, quaint, a bit chilly at times.
«It was a nice place to be but not a great place to linger.
«This is a much bigger and better destination to come and spend a lot more time.»
Is is thought that golf has been played on the links land at Dornoch since 1616. The course there was granted royal status by King Edward VII in 1906 and honorary members include eight-time major winner Tom Watson.
