McGregor Construction has completed a student accommodation refurbishment project in the Highlands.

The contractor has handed over the keys of the new pupil residence at Portree High School to the council.

Previously, the building was opened in 1933 as a school hostel for boys.

The renovated structure will provide modern accommodation to students and is part of an overall project to establish a standalone Gaelic School in Portree.

Margaret Anne Beaton, Residence Manager, said: "The young people are looking forward to moving into the new residence which they have described as 'amazing'.

"The building has been sympathetically refurbished, retaining original architectural features while still providing a modern and vibrant environment."
