Pupils at Fortrose Academy have for years been running games afternoons to which older members of the community are invited to attend.
Youngsters have in the past also staged informal tech know-how sessions to give seniors needing help the opportunity to get to grips with smartphones, tablets and computers.
The sessions have nurtured rewarding relationships with younger folk able to benefit from the experience of their seniors and hear stories about days gone by.
The intergenerational Black Isle Cares Christmas lunch, run in partnership with Fortrose Academy and Black Isle Youth Development at the local library, was an upbeat celebration.
As well as the Getting To Know Your Techno (Wednesdays, 10.45am in term time) and a games afternoon (Thursdays at 2pm), the library also has a community jigsaw, crosswords, word searches, tea and coffee for anyone who wants a lovely, bright space to spend time in.
