Edinburgh's Street Assist charity had yet another busy night in the capital, including coming to the rescue of a woman found unconscious.
The group of volunteers are regularly patrolling busy areas of the city during the night, coming to the aid of people in distress or usually, intoxicated and injured.
Working closely with Edinburgh Police, the work that Street Assist conduct week in, week out, definitely makes them the city's unsung heroes.

Most Friday and Saturday evenings, the team post their roundup of the night's action, often listing the terrific work they do that doesn't force an ambulance to race out to injured revellers.
Last night, April 29, the team said they were called out 20 times, including coming to the rescue of a female who was found unconscious.
As well as that, they helped a male with a pain in his arm, a female who was unable to get home, and another male who was in distress due to mental health reasons.
Taking to Facebook to give a roundup of their hard work, Street Assist posted: "An extremely busy shift for our volunteers who were out tonight. We answered 20 calls in total.
"Our team assisted with a female who was found unconscious, a male with pain in his arm, a female who was unable to get home, a male with a cut finger and another male who disclosed concerns for his mental health.
"We also dealt with a large number of people who'd had too much to drink.
"Utilising our vehicles, we took two people home and one person to hospital, to save calling an ambulance . We were also able to help three people arrange taxis and also walked one other back home.
"We worked closely with Edinburgh Police Division and The City of Edinburgh Council CCTV on a number of occasions to safeguard vulnerable people and help prevent disorder.
"The Duty Inspector stopped by and we grabbed the opportunity for a photograph.
"We'll be back out tonight."
The charity recently posted an update to their followers on social media, referencing how they started with just 23 volunteers back in 2016, and now have over 140, as well as a fleet of five vehicles.
