AN online auction of Outlander scripts signed by the show's stars has raised nearly £50,000 for women's charities.
In total, the 15 lots put up for sale by actress Maria Doyle Kennedy raised £46,600 for Women's Aid Ireland and Scottish Women's Aid.
While most of the scripts sold for between £800 and £3000, Kennedy's copy of the script for Monsters And Heroes, episode nine of season five, sold for £19,600.
The second highest price was for script of The Ballad Of Roger Mac, the seventh episode in the fifth season, which sold for £8,600.

The Irish singer-songwriter, who plays Jocasta Cameron, the aunt of Sam Heughan's James Fraser, announced the beginning of the auction last week on Instagram, saying: "Morning everyone, the script auction is Live!
"All proceeds will go to #WomensAid Scotland and #WomensAid Ireland.
"These are difficult times for everyone but especially so for some. If you have any interest in owning one of these, your money will do much good.
"Signed by me, Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Duncan Lacroix, Lauren Lyle, Cesar Domboy, John Bell and Ned Dennehy."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
