Two friends from the Black Isle have set off on a remarkable challenge, driving a restored 1960s tractor around the entire coast of Britain.
Calling it the Road Rage Cowboy Challenge, Marius Anderson and Martin Gill are covering 5,500 miles to raise money for five different charities, including RSABI and Cancer Research UK.
