A large garden centre in the Highland capital is set to shut.
Dobbies in Inverness, attached to the Tesco at Inshes Retail Park, is expected to close by the end of 2024.
It's reported Dobbies are closing 17 stores across the UK as part of a restructuring plan.
The company says their plan addresses "historically uneconomical rent costs" and will ensure a "long-term future" for the firm.
A Dobbies spokesperson said: "We are implementing a Restructuring Plan to address historically uneconomical rent costs and to create a strong platform to return our business to profitability, access future investment, and to ensure a sustainable, long-term future for Dobbies.
"We are sorry to confirm that this includes the closure of our Inverness store.
"Subject to the Restructuring Plan being approved, we expect this store to cease trading by the end of the year.
"Until that time, the store will remain open as usual."
