WIMBLEDON fever has broken out at a Black Isle care home.

Fun-loving residents at Eilean Dubh, run by the Parklands Group, have been collaborating on a topical TikTok.

This weekend will see tennis fans glued to Wimbledon finals after a feast of action over the previous fortnight.

Showing the likes of Nick Kyrgios and defending champion Novak Djokovic a thing or two, though, were staff and residents at the Fortrose-based home who have been picking up rackets and balls and showing off their social media skills.

The care home posted: "Something a little special we put together for you for our Wimbledon tournament."

Parklands homes have previously put their own spin on everything from Highland Games to musical festivals, managing to keep spirits high during the coronavirus lockdown period.

The video proved a winner after being posted on the home's social media channel. Sadie Scullion posted: "That is a really clever video; well done it is great too watch." Jane Urquhart simply observed: "Brilliant!"
