The Wick-based Caithness Triple C Country Music Club has handed over its annual charity cheques.
This year they gave a total of £600 split equally between the Dunbeath and District Centre and the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance.
The Dunbeath and District Centre opened in 1992 and operates as a community health and wellbeing hub.
Fundraising is now under way to try to secure finance to built a new centre as the original building is no longer adequate for the needs of the community.
The Scottish Charity Air Ambulance is based in Aberdeen and last year had 15 call outs to Caithness, at an average cost of £2500 for each flight.
Costing £5.8 million a year to run the service is entirely funded by donations.

The presentations took place during a club night in Harpers Function Rooms, on Saturday night.
