A £3 million upgrade of a cycleway in the Highlands is now complete.

The project to improve the Great Glen Cycleway has been funded by Transport Scotland.

The route, from Fort William to Inverness, is the last leg of the Caledonia Way, National Cycle Network Route 78.

New sections of the cycleway have been installed to link the existing paths.

The project was delivered by Transport Scotland, designers AECOM and contactor RJ McLeod.

Works included the refurbishment of the disused railway tunnel on the Aberchalder Estate and innovative rock trapping measures.

John Lauder, Sustrans Scotland National Director, said: "We're delighted that the Great Glen Cycleway, which showcases some of Scotland's finest scenery, is now completed and is already being well-used by visitors and locals alike.

"The cycleway forms a crucial part of the Caledonia Way which stretches all the way from Campbeltown to Inverness, connecting many communities along the way and enabling people to make every day journeys on foot or bike."
