Representatives of SARCS, a dedicated NHS Scotland service for people who have experienced recent rape or sexual assault, were among those who met Her Majesty The Queen at Buckingham Palace.
The Queen thanked those who work to support people who access this vital service.
We have 2 SARCS centres - one in Inverness and one in Wick. If you have been raped or sexually assaulted, you can report it to the Police, or self-refer if you are unsure of what to do.
