Development agency Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) is putting an extra £863,000 towards the Inverness Castle Experience Project.

The property dates back to the 1840s and was used to be a court, but it is now being transformed into a visitor attraction.

HIE said the additional funding will be used to cover some "unforeseen structural works and repairs".

It will also be used to enhance the visitor experience in the castle's north tower.

The extra funding brings HIE's total investment in the project to £2.86m.

The Inverness Castle Experience is due to open later this year.
