Days are numbered for Courier Country folk fancying a date with their favourite places in 2022.
Community calendars are flying off the shelves in local towns and villages.
They raise vital sums for good causes.
And they find their way to every corner of the globe as a year-round reminder of the beauty of home for exiles from Tayside and Fife.
Here’s a selection of the stunning offerings for 2022.
Kinghorn RNLI
Donnie Maclean and Ralph Johnston both began volunteering at the local RNLI station in early 2020 and are tractor drivers and trainee boat crew.
Following the success of a 2021 calendar produced by Donnie, the pair of keen photographers teamed up to make the 2022 edition even better.
They asked the local community to pick the images for the calendar.
Kinghorn station is one of the busiest in Scotland, with nearly 90 call-outs in 2021 so far.
The calendars cost £20 and are available by emailing kinghornlifeboatcalendars@gmail.com with all proceeds going to the RNLI.
