These include DNA Dance, a local group responsible for some spectacular crowd-pleasing shows.
The Anne Noble School of Dance takes the spotlight in March with a variety of images of smartly turned out dancers.
The Place in Alness gets pride of, well, place in December with a plethora of images reflecting its typically busy year of events and activities.
Also featuring is Alness Horticultural Society, an active local group behind a number of activities catering for those with green fingers and an enthusiasm for flowers and gardening.
And Fyrish Gymnastics Club, which spent a substantial chunk of this year trying to secure the future of its premises in Alness, gets a showcase in May.
The year is started by Alness Angling Club which has also enjoyed an eventful 2024.
The calendar that has been on sale at Alness Heritage Centre is one of a number initiatives the group has organised to raise funds and help bind the community together.
The heritage centre is currently battling to protect its own High Street premises after the discovery of dry rot in one section of the building. Its importance within the community has been widely acknowledged.
