A new scheme that aims to boost broadband internet access has been launched by the Scottish Government.
Ministers have urged those who want to benefit from a high-speed internet connection but who can not currently receive it to come forward.
A bidding process, worth up to £3.5m, has now begun to find providers to deliver the service.
Broadband availability in Scotland is more than 99% but some people in remote areas have difficulty receiving it.
Announcing the scheme, Enterprise Minister Jim Mather said: "As many individuals and businesses in Scotland as possible should have broadband access."
