An 87-year-old Lochaber church could undergo a major refurbishment.

The plans for St Finnan's RC Church in Invergarry aim to preserve its historical character and refurbish the building's interior and exterior.

An extension has also been proposed which would increase seating capacity, improve accessibility and provide toilet facilities.

The external refurbishment would include repairs to leadwork, gutters and downpipes.

A stained glass window would also be added.

There would be improved external lighting and access pathways, as well as the installation of an energy-efficient lighting and heating system.

Reconfiguration of the internal layout has been proposed to create a community space.

The planning application from the church is currently under consideration by Highland Council.
