Campaigners in Inverness say plans for a new prison in the Milton of Leys area will take the Highland capital backwards.

Steve Gordon is part of a protest group whose petition to fight the Belvonie Braes development has attracted almost 1,000 signatures.

They want officials to re-think the preferred site to replace the ageing facility in Crown over fears that it could impact on the local tourist economy.
