The contract for enabling works to begin the transformation of Inverness Castle into a new tourist attraction will go out to tender in May.
The Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service which currently occupies the building is due to move out in a few weeks time.
The enabling works will involve making several statutory applications for listed building consent, building warrant, demolition warrant and a change of use application.
These are due to be made between March and June 2020 along with an ecological assessment.
The transformation of Inverness Castle is a Highland Council project, managed by High Life Highland.
The Scottish Government, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, VisitScotland, Scottish Development International, Historic Environment Scotland, and Scottish Natural Heritage are partners in the project to create a major new tourist attraction.
