The new riverside artwork, the Gathering Place, in Inverness has finally been unveiled.

It has been designed as an amphitheatre with curved walls on either side of the River Ness near Bught Park.

The project forms part of Highland Council's £758,350 River Connections Public Art Programme but the plans were criticised by some Inverness residents who were concerned it would spoil the riverside.

The council says it will provide a place for people to meet up as the recovery from the pandemic continues and start to feel more of a sense of normality returning to their lives.
