It is believed the tyres were dumped over a period of time and police have sought sightings of vehicles visiting the area near Attadale Estate.

Highland Council has estimated the incident will cost it more than £2,140 to deal with.

The local authority said fly-tipping was a serious problem in area.

It said at the weekend a waste cassette from the toilet of a campervan or caravan was found dumped at a school in Lochaber and required "an extensive clean-up".
