A five-time winner of Scotland’s Strongest Man visited his local Co-op in Invergordon this week to raise funds and awareness for mental health.
The supermarket chain has partnered with the Scottish Association of Mental Health (SAMH) charity.
Its branch on the High Street in Invergordon is one of around 20 to take on a 100 kilometre (62 mile) static cycle challenge to raise cash for the charity, and this week strongman Luke Stoltman joined staff at the shop in support of the cause.
The shops have raised more than £5,000 in one week.
Mr Stoltman said: “In the UK and communities across the world, especially during this crisis we are going through at the moment, I think we have all been affected by mental health in some way, shape or form.
“That is why I think this is so close to everyone’s heart.
“It is hard to be positive all the time, and that’s where close, supportive, positive networks come into play.”
Co-op area manager Paul Thomson added: “Mental wellbeing in our communities is an area that needs our support.
“It’s also one of those issues that people still find difficult to talk about, despite the fact it can affect any of us at any time.”
