Gold cladding to conceal city centre building
Metal facelift for Inverness Museum and Art Gallery
Inverness Museum and Art Gallery is to be covered in metal cladding to try and improve its appearance.
£500,000 is being spent on the sandstone-coloured-aluminium which will wrap around the front and side of the building.
It'll feature a map of the city.
The cost of the work will be met from £3m of funding provided by the UK government.
The museum, operated by High Life Highland, is prominent in the city centre next to the Town House and Inverness Castle.
Scottish Secretary David Mundell confirmed the £3m of funding for Inverness during a meeting with Highland Council.
The local authority plans to use the rest of the money on upgrading the grounds of Inverness Castle and on creating a free public access wi-fi scheme for the city.
