Dornoch has a new, temporary visitor attraction – a colourful "Heilan Coo".
The sculpture, which has been placed on Castle Street, is part of the Highland Hospice's fundraising Great Heilan Coo Art Trail.
It follows the charity's first successful art trail "Go Nuts" in summer 2019.
Twenty-two coos in total are being installed in every town in the Highlands that has a Highland Hospice shop.
They will stay until August 21 before being herded into one field for a last chance to see them.
A charity auction mart will be held on September 2 when the coos go under the hammer at Eden Court and online.
Created by local wildlife sculptor Scott Gleed, who runs the business Gleed3D from near Logie Steadings, Forres, the coos are six feet long and four feet high.
Each coo has been sponsored by a local business and painted by a Highland artist.
The Dornoch coo, named "Highland Harvey" has been painted by Aviemore based Joanna McDonough and sponsored by The Torridon.
Highland Hospice's event fundraiser Jenna Hayden said: "The past year has been tough for many people, and our trail aims to brighten up the Highlands and give people the same enjoyment as our squirrel trail.
"Hopefully people will be inspired to visit areas all over the region and explore our beautiful communities in all their glory."
Mini coos are also being displayed in Highland Hospice's shops and cafes, including its Dornoch shop.
Heilan Coo activities, events and competitions are also planned for the 2022 art trail. Click here for more information.
