PAINTED sheep statues have appeared across Moray recently.
Five have cropped up in the Allarburn Farm Shop in Elgin and two have been placed in Forres - one at Logie Steading and the other at Brodie Countryfare.
But who has placed them there and for what purpose?
The artworks have been scattered around Moray to help promote the Royal Highland Show.
They form part of a public art trail known as Flock to the Show and will remain in place until April 16.
The art trail features over 35 specially designed sheep sculptures, seven of which are in Moray, decorated by artists from across the UK.
They have been designed in celebration of the return of the the Golden Shears World Sheep Shearing and Woolhandling Championships this year.
But the flock will return in time for the start of the show on June 22 before being auctioned off at a gala dinner in September.
Full details on Flock to the Show can be found here.
