A £100,000 project to build new rehabilitation accommodation in Moray is now complete.
A row of six semi-derelict cottages on Victoria Road in Elgin have been converted into accommodation for patients leaving hospital.
The homes had lain vacant since 2002 when they suffered damage during severe flooding which hit the area.
The fully furnished and equipped cottages will house elderly patients who are discharged from hospital but who require some rehabilitation before returning to their own home. The first residents are expected to move in within the coming weeks.
The scheme was undertaken by Health and Social Care Moray, with funding provided by the Moray Integrated Joint Board.
