About 100 used tyres have been found dumped on a shore of Loch Ness.

Members of Ness District Salmon Fishery Board made the discovery at a lay-by on the A82 near Drumnadrochit on Sunday.

Director Brian Shaw said the tyres appeared to have been discarded recently because surrounding vegetation was still flattened.

He said the fly-tipping had been reported to police and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa).

The fishery board came across the tyres while making a film for social media.

Mr Shaw said the lay-by is one of the most popular with visitors to Loch Ness because of its views of the ruins of Urquhart Castle.
