Isle of Canna

Residents of Canna, in the Inner Hebrides, secure more funding for a planned tourist hub which they hope will boost overnight visitor numbers.

The National Trust for Scotland says there are 'unusual signs' of predation on Canna.

However, NatureScot says it is receiving fewer reports of dead birds since the final week of July.

The Northern and Western Isles along with the Highlands have seen heavy snow showers.

The Hebridean island's owners have reached a new agreement with residents on how it will be run.

Residents of Canna plan to build three new homes for future new arrivals.

A new Highland Council report says broadband and mobile coverage in some places is "non-existent".
