The first Scottish historical fiction festival is to be held later this year.
Taking place in Grantown-on-Spey, the event will feature writers Susan Fletcher, Andrew Grieg, SG Maclean, Rosemary Goring and Maggie Craig.
It's Nae the Tudors: Scottish Historical Fiction Festival will be held on 8 and 9 September.
Organiser Marjory Marshall said: "There have been, and are, historical fiction festivals in Scotland, but none focusing entirely on Scots history."
Ms Marshall, who owns local independent bookstore The Bookmark, added: "A great deal of attention has been given to 16th Century British history in recent fiction, and associated film and TV dramas - another film about Mary Queen of Scots will be released later in the year - and I wanted to look beyond that period.
