Work is progressing well on the refurbishment of the historic Victorian Market in Inverness city centre.

The ongoing £1.6 million project to transform the market hall and former fish hall aims to boost footfall in the popular Highland capital site.

The work will involve an internal strip out, including all existing shop units – to be replaced by new units, a central seating area, and public toilets.

Other parts of the Victorian Market building – such as the Arcade and Queensgate businesses – are not affected by the refurbishment and are open to the public as normal.

Colin Campbell Jewellers, which is based at the market, posted a picture on its Facebook page and the post read: "A sneaky pic of work in progress at the rear of the Victorian Market.

"It’s a wonderful space, we’re all hoping that the right mix of new tenants can bring it to life and make it the gathering place it deserves to be."

Work on the area being revamped is expected to be complete in 2022.
