Four people have been taken to hospital after a crash in the Black Isle.
Emergency services were called to the two-vehicle collision on the A832 Tore to Fortrose road at around 11am on Sunday.
The incident happened close to Tore Service Station involving a green Jaguar and a silver Vauxhall Mokka.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman confirmed two appliances from Inverness had been sent to the scene.
Firefighters used cutting equipment to remove one man from one of the vehicles.
All four occupants from the cars, two men aged 59 and 53 from the Jaguar, and two women aged 37 and 36 from the Mokka, were taken by ambulance to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
The road was closed for around four hours before eventually reopening at 3.30pm.
A police spokeswoman said: “Around 11.15pm on Sunday, police were called to a two-vehicle road crash on the A832, near Tore Roundabout between Tore and Munlochy, on the Black Isle.
“Four people, two men and two women, have been taken to Raigmore Hospital.”
