Help is going to be required this Easter to track down a flock of toy sheep who've gone missing in Moray.
Word in the farmyard is the cuddly renegades are hiding out at four different locations across the locality.
Unconfirmed sightings have been recorded at both Harbro County Store and Allarbarn Farm Shop on Elgin's Edgar Road.
Meanwhile, there have also been reports at Logie Steading as well as Brodie Countryfare.
The Royal Highland & Agricultural Society of Scotland states there are 2000 toy sheep currently AWOL around Scotland.
Whoever finds one of the cute lost flock can keep them, says the charitable society which is celebrating its 240th anniversary this year.
In addition, it is also offering the opportunity to win one of eight VIP experiences for the 2024 Royal Highland Show.
To be in with a chance, simply scan the QR code on your sheep's ear tag.
Alan Laidlaw, the society's chief executive, said: "We have 240 years of history in championing Scottish agriculture. Inspiring the next generation remains a key part of that.
"We hope lots of young people and their families get involved with finding the sheep.
"We also hope they continue their interest by visiting us at our milestone event, the Royal Highland Show, in June."
With Spring an important season in the agricultural calendar, each ear tag code will also reveal five farming facts.
These include insights on lambing, crop sowing and more.
The Royal Highland Show is attended by 200,000 people over four days each year.
Taking place on the outskirts of Edinburgh from June 20-23, it attracts the best in livestock and agriculture, while showcasing Scotland to the world.
For those who don’t manage to find a sheep, tickets are also available on the show's website.
