HRI said the acquisition will bring together both expertise and experience in commercial/residential architecture, as well as historic building/conservation work.

As part of the deal, HRI will relocate to Thomas Munro & Co's premises at 62 Academy Street.

Mr Bruce said: "We are delighted to be incorporating Inverness's longest-established architectural practice to create a new, medium-sized firm – the largest locally based practice in the Highlands.

Mr Munro added: "I am pleased that the firm founded by my grandfather Thomas Munro will continue in a new form.

"I look forward to making an active contribution to the new practice."
