Revamp of community woodland's paths approved

Councillors have approved planned improvements to a historic wood in Inverness.

Culduthel Community Woods are on about two acres (0.8ha) of land once associated with a former stately home that dated back to the 1780s.

The woods were brought into community ownership in 2022 and are now the focus of projects to improve its paths, tackle invasive plants and encourage growth of native species.

Highland Council officials had recommended that planned work to the wood's entrance, paths and a pond be granted permission.
