A SHORT film offers a glimpse inside a brand new £5.5m Black Isle care home aiming to become an integral part of the local community.

Parkland Care Homes produced the video to offer locals an insight into the facility which has been called Eilean Dubh, the Gaelic for Black Isle.

A spokesman said: "Ordinarily we would host a community open day at the launch of a new care home but that hasn’t been possible during the pandemic. This video is designed to give local people an insight into the care home, the facilities it offers and its approach to care."
