The age-old ceremony to proclaim King Charles III the new monarch was completed on the steps of the Inverness Town House on Sunday.
Though he became sovereign at the moment of Her Majesty The Queen's passing, the proclamation formally recognises his official accession to the throne.
The Lord-Lieutenant for Inverness James Wotherspoon started the proceedings, before the proclamation was read out by Derek Pyle, the Sheriff Principal of Grampian, Highland and Islands.
The proclamation read out by Mr Pyle was identical to the one delivered at St James’s Palace in London on Saturday which marked the official moment Prince Charles became the King.
It was then read out by Highland Councillors who are Civic Heads or Area Chairs at 13:30 at seven locations elsewhere in the region.
They were: Dingwall Town Hall, Dornoch Cathedral Green, Fort William Parade, Kingussie – Gynack Gardens, Nairn Remembrance Garden, Portree – Somerled Square, and at Wick Market Cross.
