Approval sought for city woodland path improvements
Councillors have been asked to approve planned improvements to a historic wood in Inverness. Culduthel Community Woods are on about two acres (6ha) 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 have recommended that planned work to the wood's entrance, paths and a pond be granted permission.

Future proposals include improving an adjoining area of grassland for the benefit of plants and insects, and potentially putting up bat boxes. Highland Council Culduthel Community Woods
