David Beckham celebrated his 50th birthday with a visit to a lesser-known Scottish island.
The former footballer, the only Englishman to score at three different World Cups, from 1998 to 2006, reached the milestone age on Friday of last week.
Beckham shared a series of photos on social media from a camping and fishing trip north of the border with sons Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, last week.
In the photos, David can be seen fishing for fresh scallops and lobster, while he and his sons also spent the night in a bothy.

One of the photos was captioned: "Six months ago planned a trip with my boys at the start of last week to camp and fish for my 50th".
As part of their trip, the sports star and his sons spent time on the Isle of Luing, The Herald understands.
One of the Slate Islands, Luing is situated in the Firth of Lorn, in the west of Argyll, about 16 miles south of Oban.
Luing is reached by a short ferry trip across Cuan Sound from the neighbouring Isle of Seil, which is connected to the mainland by the Clachan Bridge, which is known as 'the bridge over the Atlantic'.
Beckham’s footballing career included the treble-winning campaign of 1998-99, when Manchester United won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, and he earned 115 England caps, the third most of all time for the men’s team.
Beckham is also a Unicef goodwill ambassador, and is known for his style, including fitted suits, hairstyles and tattoos.
