Popular BBC TV show Songs of Praise came to Inverness Cathedral on Sunday celebrating local singers.
A collection of choirs took to the stage in front of a packed audience as the show was filmed.
It was due to take place last year but faced Covid-related delays.
The episode will be broadcast in July and includes performances from Inverness Cathedral Choir, Inverness Cathedral Junior Choir, Inverness Gaelic Choir and the Black Isle Gaelic Choir.
It was led by London-based conductor, presenter and workshop leader Tori Longdon.
Director of music at Inverness Cathedral, Adrian Marple, said: “It was so good to bring so many people and groups together and raise the cathedral roof with the powerful hymn singing!
“Our own Cathedral Choir were joined by the 24 members of the newly formed Inverness Cathedral Junior Choir and the Inverness Gaelic Choir too – and with the massive congregation I felt we all did the Highlands proud.
“So many of us missed making music together during the pandemic, it was the real tonic that we all needed. So I look forward to welcoming all 450 back every Sunday at the cathedral.
“We look forward to seeing the results in July.”
