Vandalism at an Inverness cemetery is likely to be upsetting for a lot of people, says a Highland councillor.
Police are investigating after gravestones were toppled and bins were set on fire.
Inverness Millburn councillor Isabelle MacKenzie said: "It is shocking that this is happening.
"I'm not sure if it is a one-off or part of a bigger picture.
"Certainly, for any visitors to the cemetery, this will be distressing.
"People from across the city have links to that cemetery so this will upset a lot of folk."
She said the culprits showed no respect.
"There seems to be a growing problem with antisocial behaviour like this around Inverness," Cllr MacKenzie added.
"There have been problems at Whin Park for instance, so it seems to be a growing issue."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers have been made aware of vandalism at a cemetery on Glenurquhart Road, Inverness.
“Enquiries are ongoing.”
