A busy section of the A9 will be shut tonight for repairs following a lorry fire.
Firefighters were called to the blaze on the A9 Inverness to Perth, near Aviemore, at about 9.30pm on Tuesday.
Nobody was injured, but the carriageway was damaged.
Two appliances from Aviemore and Grantown-on-Spey attended the incident. A water carrier from Inverness was also later requested.

The Chivas Whisky lorry was left badly damaged following the fire.
Road to close until midnight
The road is open today, under traffic lights, but will shut at 8pm for the recovery of the lorry and road repairs.
