Travellers who set up home at the new multimillion pound Inverness Campus have now left the site.
The group with three caravans arrived at the Beechwood site at the weekend.
They set up camp next to a security company’s portable cabin, close to the Caulfield Road entrance to the campus.
However during a visit by local sheriff officers, the travellers were given two days to leave the site.
Yesterday evening, there was no sign of the caravans.
A spokesman for Highlands and Islands Enterprise, which is developing the campus for education, business and research, said that the sheriff officers visited at the request of the Inverness Campus Owners Association and served notice on the travellers to leave.
The Inverness Campus was opened in May by Deputy First Minister John Swinney.
Earlier this month, the flagship building, Inverness College, opened its doors to staff and students.
The 215-acre campus will host a wide variety of organisations, as well as 200 student flats and a health science centre. It is hoped the facilities will help to prevent the brain drain of young people leaving the area to study – and tempt others back with the promise of high quality jobs.
Earlier this month, a sheriff showed the red card to a group of travellers who occupied land near Tulloch Stadium, the home of Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC.
The club took legal action to evict about a dozen caravans which had parked in its overflow car park.
Those travellers vacated the site before the order was served.
It is understood the court action cost the club a four-figure sum in legal fees.
In June, residents were stunned to see several vehicles pitch up on a footpath and cyclepath beside the Smithton roundabout by the busy A96 despite fences and a gate being installed.
