A major military exercise, Joint Warrior, is taking place at a variety of locations around Scotland this week
One part of the exercise was staged in south west Scotland and involved a bid to "recapture" Castle Kennedy airfield
An amphibious assault on the Luce Bay coastline, near Stranraer, saw about 1,000 marines seek to regain control of the airfield
Belgian and Dutch marines were also involved in the multi-national exercise
Joint Warrior is one of Europe's largest Nato training events and is held twice a year
In addition to Galloway, Cape Wrath in the Highlands and the Moray Firth are among the places in Scotland where training is being held
Some 35 warships, 25 different types of aircraft and about 13,000 personnel are taking part
Joint Warrior got under way on Monday and will run at a variety of locations until 11 April
