A rarely-seen portrait of the Princess Royal is set to go on display next year in Edinburgh.
The photograph was taken by Norman Parkinson in the gardens of Frogmore House in 1971 to mark Princess Anne's 21st birthday.
The young Princess, wearing a light green, long-sleeved silk dress, stands in front of a painting by Gordon Davies.
The artwork, created especially for the portrait, features a white horse bearing Anne's standard and galloping along a river bank, with a castle and bridge in the background.
The Princess also sports the diamond Meander tiara, which belonged to her paternal grandmother, Princess Alice of Battenberg – later Princess Andrew of Greece and Denmark.

In a nod to the makeup trends at the time, the Princess also sported blue eyeshadow and blusher on her cheeks.
While the tiara was passed down to Queen Elizabeth II, she didn't wear it publicly and passed it down to her daughter Anne.
The Princess Royal's daughter, Zara, also wore the tiara on her wedding day to Mike Tindall in 2011.

It chronicles the evolution of royal portrait photography from the 1920s until the coronation of the King in 2023, with more than 90 prints, proofs and documents from the Royal Collection and the Royal Archives.
Many images are being shown in Scotland for the first time, and all the photographs are vintage prints – the originals – including from the golden age of the society photographer in the 1920s and 1930s.
Iconic images of the late Queen Elizabeth II taken by Cecil Beaton and a young Princess Margaret, captured by her husband and photographer, Lord Snowdon, also form part of the display.

A sepia-toned portrait of the Duke of York and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (The Queen Mother) in 1923.
Alessandro Nasini, curator of the exhibition, said: "The Royal Collection holds some of the most enduring photographs ever taken of the royal family, each one captured by the most celebrated portrait photographers of the past hundred years – from Cecil Beaton and Norman Parkinson to Annie Leibovitz and Rankin.
"Alongside these beautiful vintage prints, many of which are being shown in Scotland for the first time, we are excited to share archival correspondence, photographers’ handwritten annotations, and unreleased proofs that lift the curtain on the process of commissioning, sitting for, and selecting royal portraits.
"We hope visitors will enjoy going behind the scenes to discover how these unforgettable royal images were made."
