Music fans defied the rain to see Skerryvore bring this year's Hebridean Music Festival - HebCelt - in Stornoway on Lewis to a close.
About 17,000 music fans were expected to attend over the weekend, with headline acts performing in the event's big top tent.
Organisers predict it could be the most successful festival in the event's 28-year history.
Scottish pop icon Lulu, singer-songwriter Eddi Reader and Highlands folk pop band Tide Lines were among those who performed.
There was also a special appearance by Gaelic children's TV legend Donnie Dòtaman.
Early bird tickets for next year's festival, taking place between 15 and 18 July, will be on sale next week.
