A renowned Highland golf club is pressing ahead with plans to build a new driving range and other facilities on a former industrial site.
Royal Dornoch has lodged a full planning application for the development which will involve a practice range, tennis court and a golf pro-shop.
The scheme has been proposed for a 20 acre derelict site in the Sutherland town which previously housed an abattoir.
The planning application follows a public consultation exercise earlier this year which the club said generally produced positive feedback.
The scheme is part of a masterplan for the derelict site, with permission already having been granted for student flats nearby.
The run-down abattoir building was demolished in 2015 – while part of the complex will be built on scrubland nearby.
The plans are for a golf driving range and associated classroom teaching area.
An existing building on the site will be demolished and will be replaced with a new 1.5 storey construction which will be used as a pro-golf shop.
The development also includes car and coach parking as well as public toilets, which both emerged as public aspirations of the community during public consultations.
A tennis court will be included close to the parking area .
The 16-bay driving range has been designed by Royal Dornoch’s golf pros and will include a putting and general practice area next to the range.
Neil Hampton, general manager of Royal Dornoch, has previously said that the facilities were for the development of the town and improving the club’s existing offering.
He said: “It’s just an extension of the facilities that we think are necessary. The facilities I think are more for local people than attracting big tournaments.”
A supporting statement included with the planning application said that public feedback was “largely positive” with particular support for the classroom element and for the inclusion of public toilets and coach parking.
The club has this year been celebrating 400 years of golf being played in Dornoch.
