An architect has been chosen to help deliver three new visitor information shelters in Wester Ross.

Mike Hyatt of Mike Hyatt Landscape Architects was selected after winning a design competition to develop the facilities at key entry points to Achnasheen, Lochcarron and Braemore.

Over 60 designs were submitted to the competition. Of these, three were shortlisted and invited to submit detailed deigns, which have been assessed by a panel of technical experts and judged by a panel made up of community members.

Overall, the scheme aims to encourage expansion of tourism in Wester Ross whilst adding value to other projects and facilities within the area.

Following his selection, Mr Hyatt will now work closely with the Highland Council to bring his design to a reality before the tourist season begins in 2017.
