Famous faces Brian Cox, Gerard Butler and Sir Chris Hoy are backing a new campaign to boost interest in the National Trust for Scotland.
They reveal what they love and hate about Scotland in a new film, For the Love of Scotland, also featuring Judy Murray, Alex McLeish, rugby's Stuart Hogg and Finn Russell, musician Evelyn Glennie and TV presenter Andrea McLean.
The National Trust for Scotland (NTS) aims to boost member numbers by more than a third to 500,000, to more than double paid visits to one million, and to increase regular donors and member visits over the next five years.
The stars are joined by a host of NTS supporters in the three-minute film, which first aired on Sunday evening on STV.
Sir Chris Hoy reveals he hates potholes but loves how Scots can be the best in the world, while Gerard Butler says he loves mountains, lochs and glens and Burns, but hates midges and smirr.
Tennis coach Judy Murray hates when 'rain stops play' but loves the country's national treasures, while Scotland manager Alex McLeish hates 'glorious defeat', but loves how Scots all pull together as a team.
Mark Bishop, director of customer and cause at NTS, said: "Everything we do is for the love of Scotland. The hundreds of thousands of members, donors, volunteers, visitors and staff do what they do because they care about Scotland and we thought it was time to recognise that.
"The National Trust for Scotland isn't just here for a lovely day out, it stands for something much bigger than that.
"We're about coastlines and castles, art and architecture, wildlife and wilderness. We're here to protect our natural and national treasures for everyone to enjoy. "
He added: "In creating this campaign, we've been heartened by the extraordinary passion we've tapped - from multi award-winning actors and sporting royalty to our hard working staff and volunteers and everyone else who champions our work.
"We have harnessed that support to help us shout louder about the important role we play in caring for Scotland now and forever."
NTS was set up in 1931 for the "preservation and conservation of natural and human heritage that is significant to Scotland and the world".
It cares for sites ranging from castles, gardens and historical houses to battlefields, Munros and nature reserves.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
