More sheep have been killed by a mystery gunman in the Highlands.
The carcasses of 91 shot animals were found near Port na Con, Durness, Sutherland, last week.
And last night it was revealed three lambs had been found shot in Hacklett, Benbecula, in the Outer Hebrides.
Northern Constabulary's Sergeant Graeme Murdoch, senior officer for the Uists and Barra, said: "We have no leads at the moment and appeal to the public to come forward with any information.
"We have no idea what the motive is for these killings but we do not believe they are connected to the other sheep deaths in Sutherland."
The sheep in Durness were found by a hillwalker.
Some were killed up to two years ago but at least 10 were shot recently.
