Highland Council is encouraging residents and visitors to make the most of the £2 single-fare cap on its in-house bus services.
The initiative is helping to make public transport more accessible and affordable, particularly for families looking for low-cost ways to travel during the summer months.
The £2 single fare-cap applies to all passengers; however, anyone under 22 or over 60, who is resident in Scotland, can travel for free with a National Entitlement Card.
Full timetable information and journey details are available on the Council website.

A spokesperson for UNITE said that the resolution of these disputes removes the threat of strike action at the airports and ensures that no disruption happens during the extremely busy summer period.
