Firefighters worked for four hours to free a one-tonne bull from a peat bog on the Isle of Skye.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it was alerted to the stuck animal at about 15:00 on Tuesday.

The bull had got into difficulty in a bog near Struan Hill Road in north Skye.

Retained fire crews from Portree and Broadford managed to rescue the animal by digging around it using spades and other equipment.
