Scotland has the worst mobile phone coverage in the UK, according to a business group.
Improved 2G and 3G signals are needed to increase growth and encourage visitors to return to the country, the Federation of Small Businesses said.
Argyll and Bute, the Highlands and parts of Perthshire have the worst coverage according to the federation, which has responded to a Scottish Government consultation on plans to simplify the planning process for mobile operators to improve coverage.
The Government wants to make it easier to install phone masts and other equipment.
