A new school building is to be built in the Highlands, it has been announced.
The Scottish Government confirmed on 25 January that funding will be allocated for a new facility to be built at Alness Academy.
It is understood the Highland Council will be required to match this funding, with provisions already made to the local authority's capital programme.
In addition, the funding confirmation also enables the council to confirm funding and progress plans for improvements to other schools in Alness and Invergordon.
Councillor Drew Millar said: "Alness Academy has been a major priority for Highland Council. I have been concerned at the condition of the building, and with this announcement we can proceed as quickly as possible to give the community a school they will be proud to attend and deserve."
