Highland Council is expected to start legal action this week to evict a group of travellers from an Inverness beauty spot.
About 15 caravans have been pitched up at Bught Park and Ness Islands since Friday, when they were forced to leave their previous pitch elsewhere in the city.
It will be third time in two weeks the same group has faced court action.
Last week, DIY giant B&Q won a court order to evict the camp from their disused store on Telford Road.
They then moved to a council-owned football pitch on St Valery Avenue.
But on Friday, sheriff officers were sent to the playing field to evict the group after Highland Council won its own eviction notice.
The travellers then pitched up at the Bught, parking their caravans at a public car park next to the mini-golf course – land owned by the authority’s leisure and culture arm High Life Highland.
A spokeswoman for the council said: “We are aware of the unauthorised encampment on the mini-golf course at the Bught, Inverness – which is Highland Council-owned land.
“We are liaising with the people who have camped there and our partners, in line with our policy on managing unauthorised camping.”
