Two men have died following a disturbance in Inverness.

Police said a man's been arrested in connection with the incident in Hilton's Balloan Road. Two flats were sealed off, with the disturbance understood to have happened in the upper premises.

Emergency services were called to the scene at about 22:00 on Thursday, with neighbours reporting blue lights and around a dozen Police vehicles.

David Hadden of Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team, said inquiries were at "an early stage".

He said: "My thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this difficult time.

"I would like to take this opportunity to stress that there is no threat to the wider community"
