These pictures show how work is progressing on a prominent riverside housing scheme near the centre of Inverness.
The £2.6million new build is taking shape on the former site of Huntly House on the west bank of River Ness.
It will eventually house 21 new flats, while three B-listed Georgian properties are also being refurbished and converted into affordable homes.
The Huntly Place project has been developed by Highland Council and is being delivered by Inverness-based William Gray Construction.
The prominent new building is currently taking shape and is due to open in the new year.
Contractor Willie Gray said: “Initially we thought this would be a very challenging site to work on because of its location next to the main road.
“Thankfully we have been able to work very well with the council to avoid problems.
“We’re getting on very well and we’re lucky that the weather has been on our side.
“We’re very pleased to be helping deliver new housing in the heart of the town.”
The company have been involved in a number of prominent city centre sites, including developing houses at 92-94 Academy Street.
After completion at Huntly Place the company are set to move onto a new housing development at Raining’s Stairs.
The current council housing development replaces the former Huntly House which was latterly used as a homeless hostel.
The other houses date back to the Georgian period and face onto Abban Street.
The plans were approved in 2014 after a number of revisions.
The original design for the project was rejected by the same planning committee earlier the same year for being “boxy” and “ugly”.
The previous building on the site was purpose-built in the 1980s and provided emergency accommodation for 27 homeless people as a Salvation Army hostel.
It was a hostel for 12 years, but was forced to close in 2007 due to local authority budget cuts.
It then became run-down and a target for vandals
