About 50 locations in the Highlands are being featured in new movie map to mark their lure for tourists.

They include landmarks such as Eilean Donan Castle and Glencoe which have featured in James Bond films including Skyfall, and Glenfinnan Viaduct, which appears in some Harry Potter films.

The map has been put together by Highland Council and VisitScotland.

A council spokesman said the silver screen legacy has proved a significant draw for visitors.

The guide also features a dedicated section on Skye, which provided the opening airport scene for Flash Gordon in 1980 and has been a major draw to film-makers in recent years.

Ridley Scott's Prometheus, Snow White and the Huntsman and the Gaelic language film Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle all featured Skye.

It can also be seen in the upcoming Macbeth, starring Michael Fassbender.
