More than 1,300 Inverness homes were without power following a sudden outage earlier today.
According to the Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), approximately 1,355 properties in the Crown, Drummond, Hilton and Haugh areas were affected by an “unplanned outage.”
The company said it was caused by a fault with the underground network.
SSEN engineers were sent to the site shortly after 1pm and managed to restore power before 3pm.
