Group feeling chipper after Dingwall to Strathpeffer Peffery Way storm damage clearance work
STORM-hit trees obstructing an off-road route linking Strathpeffer and Dingwall have been cleared.
The Peffery Way had been partially blocked as a result but a concerted effort on Saturday saw the route cleared.
The Peffery Way Association posted: “That’s the fallen trees made safe and cleared off the path. There’s still a wee bit of tidying up to do but the path is now open.
“A huge thanks to Dylan Robertson and his crew for all their hard work and for responding so quickly at this time of year. We’re hugely grateful.”

The group had invited any contributions to help cover the cost and thanked those who responded.
It said recent donations will go towards hiring a chipper to clear the remaining branches in the new year.
The damage had included one large tree that was blown over east of the sewage works during the December 22 storm.
