Trade reached £4,800 at the inaugural Highland Sheep Dog Sale conducted by Dingwall and Highland Marts.
The firm sold 15 sheep dogs and was topped by a fully trained five-year-old bitch Glenview Jan, from Scott Renwick, Inverbroom, Ullapool.
This was followed by £4,400 for Marge (Nell) from M Sutherland, Mossgiel, Achalone.
C Robertson, Swarthoull, Shetland, sold the lead price dog at £4,000 for a two-year-old named Houplaw Fly.
In the part trained section, another dog which took the eye was Jess from Miss V Shearer, Lythmore Cottage, Caithness, which sold for £3,800.
It is hoped the sale will become a yearly fixture in the Highlands.
