War memorials across Scotland are being restored as part of a Scottish Government scheme to mark the centenary of the First World War.
Grants totalling £190,000 have been offered to 21 projects, including the iconic Kitchener memorial in Orkney.
Awards range from £890 to clean a framed memorial in a hotel in Edinburgh to several large memorials receiving up to £35,000 to carry out vital repairs and conservation work.
The recent restorations bring the total amount offered to £528,000 for 67 Scottish war memorials since the scheme was launched by former first minister Alex Salmond in 2013.
A pot of £1 million was made available for any type of war memorial, in order for communities to repair and restore their own monuments and will run through to the centenary of the First World War.
Frances Moreton, director of War Memorials Trust, said: "The charity is delighted at the level of interest in this scheme and the enthusiasm of people across the country to do something about the condition of their memorials.
"There are still plenty of funds available for the right projects, so get in touch to see if we can help your local war memorial.
"I am certain that we can maintain the current momentum to ensure that Scotland's memorials are in the best possible condition in preparation for the centenary commemoration of the end of the First World War.
"Also, I would like to remind everyone that grants are available to memorials commemorating any conflict - for example, recent grants have supported Second World War and Waterloo memorials."
The scope for continued repair work is still significant, with about 600 of Scotland's estimated 6,000 war memorials in either "poor" or "very bad" condition.
