An Inverness beauty spot remains shut after recent adverse weather.

The Ness Islands have been closed to the public for 2 weeks.

Highland Council says parts of the site are still affected by flooding and fallen trees.

It's not known when it will reopen.

A Highland Council spokesperson said: “Ness Islands remains closed for public safety due to recent storm damage. Parts of the islands are still affected by flooding and there are fallen and dangerous trees with broken branches.

“We appreciate that the islands area is very popular and apologise for any inconvenience.

"We hope to get staff on site to deal with the wind damaged trees as soon as it is safe for them to access the site.

"In the meantime we would ask people to use the Infirmary Bridge while the Islands are closed.”
