People of Glasgow are being encouraged to enter a portrait photography competition by sharing snaps and stories that capture what walking means to them.
Scotland’s walking charity Paths for All has launched the competition named Humans of the Walk as part of its mission to promote everyday walking.
Those who take part are in with the chance of winning a Nikon B500 Coolpix camera.
To enter the competition, members of the public should post a portrait photo celebrating walking in some way, on Twitter or Instagram, using the hashtag #HumansOfTheWalk.

The competition is running from until May 31 and multiple entries are allowed.
Ian Findlay, Chief Officer at Paths for All, said: "Glasgow has a number of great walking routes – whether it’s residential streets or local paths and green spaces - and we’re keen for the community to celebrate how they make a part of their daily routines.
"We want the photos to be a true reflection of everyday walking – walking that builds friendships, gives you headspace and gets you feeling fitter and out enjoying nature.
"Walking can help prevent ill health, build communities and create a happier, healthier, greener Scotland and we know that people can demonstrate just that with their Humans of the Walk photos.
"We want to revolutionise the way people use their cities, and stop our spaces from being dominated by cars. Scotland’s towns and cities should be a backdrop for people walking, scooting, cycling or simply spending time enjoying cleaner, quieter, calmer streets.
"Paths for All is looking forward to seeing them all and wish everyone who enters the competition the best of luck."

Paths for All’s aim is to boost the number of people who choose to walk in Scotland, whether it’s walking for leisure or walking to work, school or to the shops.
Everyday walking refers to walking that’s regular, easy and local that can be part of daily routines and family life. It’s walking that's relevant and accessible to us all.
The charity works to create more opportunities and better environments for walking, cycling and other activities to help make Scotland a more active and greener country.
