A man has been charged in connection with a series of firearm incidents in north-west Scotland which left a father-of-six dead and two other people seriously injured.
John MacKinnon, 47, died after a firearm was discharged on the Isle of Skye yesterday morning.
His family have paid tribute to the "loving husband, father of six, brother, uncle and grandfather" who was a "much-loved member of the community".
Gunshots were also heard on the mainland at Dornie, Wester Ross on the Scottish mainland.
A 32-year-old woman and a man and woman, both 63, were taken to hospital following the incidents where the man is in a "critical" condition while the younger woman is in a "serious" condition.
A 39-year-old man has been charged in connection with the death of Mr MacKinnon and the incidents which left the three others injured, Police Scotland confirmed.
He is due to appear at Inverness Sheriff Court tomorrow.
The family of Mr MacKinnon, who was reportedly trying to help others as the events unfolded, issued a statement which read: "John was a loving husband, father of six, brother, uncle and grandfather to his family, and was a much-loved member of the community.
"John loved the outdoors, was a keen motorcyclist and, as a loved father, shared his activities with his family."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said everyone in Scotland will be thinking of the communities affected.
Speaking as she visited a church group in Forfar, Angus, today she said: "My thoughts are with those most directly affected by what has been a horrific incident on Skye."
