Inverness city centre is expected to get busier and busier after the easing of coronavirus-related lockdown restrictions today.

Business will pick up after wet weather failed to dampen the spirits of hardy shoppers who were keen to show their support to shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants across the city – many of which were open for the first time this year.

Hospitality businesses were preparing to welcome tourists while gyms, swimming pools, visitor attractions, public buildings and close-contact services such as beauty salons were all able to reopen.
