MAN'S best friend features in our images of the week with Cooper and Archie accompanying their owners to picturesque places.

We've got one of the dogs heading out on a beautiful Spring evening in Limekilns and a springer spaniel having a good look round the land art at the old St Ninians open cast mine near Kelty.

Also included is a close up of the "magnificent" City Chambers, a beautiful sunset over Pattiesmuir and a pod of seals basking in the sun.

Thanks to our contributors, Richard Naysmith, John Shaw, George Stewart, Harold Boyle and Ray Clark.
