Artwork by a Scots Pop Surrealist painter was a feature of the weekend's March For Our Lives US gun control protests.

Copies of a painting of Donald Trump by Dingwall-born, Black Isle-based Michael Forbes were carried by protestors in New York City and Washington DC.

Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney, who attended the march in Manhattan, "liked" a tweet about the artwork.

Forbes' artwork has tackled issues such as mental health and women's rights.

The March For Our Lives movement was set up after a gunman killed 17 students and teachers at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school in Florida.
