Firefighters found themselves in a race against the tide to rescue an injured cow that had ended up trapped at the bottom of a cliff in rural Scotland.
SFRS teams from Lochalsh & Wester Ross, Skye & Raasay, and Inverness & Kyle were scrambled after the animal escaped its field and ended up on the rocky shoreline.
In pictures taken at the scene, at least 10 crew members can be seen working to save the brown and white cow by using a field gate as a makeshift stretcher, with the incoming tide creeping closer in the background.
