The number of Scots reaching 100 years old continues to rise.
It is thought that there are 910 centenarians living in Scotland according to new figures published by the National Records Of Scotland today.
Using the latest Census to calculate an average of the last five years they have found women are living longer than men.
NRS Chief Executive Tim Ellis said: "In 2014 there were 17 male centenarians per hundred female centenarians, an increase from 11 in 2004, reflecting a narrowing of the gap in mortality between men and women for this age group.
Estimates of the number of people aged 90 to 99 show relatively big increases between 2010 and 2012. This is partly due to births in the years following the First World War being much higher than in the preceding years. The number of births in 1920 was the highest since the introduction of national registration in 1855"
