The winning design for a new tartan to adorn youth hostels across Scotland has been unveiled.
Dave Cameron, 61, from Falkirk, came up with the top entry in the competition run by the Scottish Youth Hostels Association (SYHA).
The design, inspired by the Scottish Highlands and Islands, will be used for soft furnishings in SYHA's network of hostels.
Chief executive Keith Legge said: "We are delighted to have a dedicated SYHA Hostelling tartan that really incorporates the natural beauty of Scotland and its great outdoors.
"Through use of forest greens, light blue to represent lochs, rivers and coastline, and a touch of SYHA earthy red denoting warmth and hospitality; the winning design truly met the criteria set for the competition and requirements for its use in our youth hostels."
