Scottish singer-songwriter Barbara Dickson is to take a final bow in Inverness next year as part of her farewell tour.

The singer will be joined by a full live band for the February 13 gig.

It is one of only three Scottish stops on the 10-date tour, with shows also scheduled to go ahead in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Ms Dickson first rose to fame in the 1960s before going on to become the biggest selling Scottish female album artist of all time.

She has had 15 albums enter the UK charts and is famed for her hit duet with Elaine Page, I Know Him So Well.

Her last performance at Eden Court was in 2018 as part of the critically- acclaimed production of Far, Far From Ypres.
