Work to restore a historic Highland castle to its former glory is now on the final straight.
Mingary Castle, which sits on the most westerly point of the British mainland, became a ruin after lying unoccupied for more than 150 years.
The £2.3million project, which started in April last year, aimed to turn the 13th century pile near Kilchoan into a luxury holiday retreat.
It is now hoped that the first paying guests could arrive within weeks.
While major rennovation works have been carried out to the walls and roof, the focus now is on the castle interiol
Tradesmen are now arriving to fit electrics and plumbing, as well as tile the floors and plaster the walls.
Local historian Jon Haylett praised the skills of the stonemasons who worked on the outside – and said the future of the castle was looking bright.
He said: “The work that has been done is fantastic.
“The building was literally in a state of collapse.
“The castle has stood for 700 years. The quality of the workmanship has created something that will stand for another 700 years.”
Owner Donald Houston, of Ardnamurchan Estate, was granted permission to turn the castle, which has lain vacant for 150 years, into a residential property, through the Mingary Preservation Trust.
Work started last year to restore it.
Before and after photographs of the building show the scale of the transformation.
The walls were close to crumbling and the castle was without a roof.
The building was shrouded in scaffolding to allow the structural work to take place last year.
As well as the poor state of the castle, workmen faced the problem of getting materials to the site, along a single track road.
New mortar has been used to repair the brickwork and new railings installed up staircases and on the battlement.
