The Scottish government has withdrawn an image used in a Highland bus travel campaign, after the photo appeared to show a bus driving in China.
The advert for a pilot scheme shows an image of a bus travelling on a winding road through a landscape that shares similarities to the rural Highlands.
But eagle-eyed social media users noticed that the road had bright green crash barriers and a green bus - sights which are not familiar in the north of Scotland.
They suggested it appeared to be the Changbai Mountain area near the border of China and North Korea.
Transport Scotland confirmed that an incorrect image was provided by an external marketing agency and has now been removed from communication packs.
