A Chinese energy company has announced plans to build the UK's largest wind turbine manufacturing facility in Scotland.
Ming Yang said the £1.5bn project would create up to 1,500 jobs, with the first production taking place by late 2028.
The firm, which is the largest private wind turbine manufacturer in China, has shortlisted the green freeport site at Ardersier as its preferred location for the facility.
Ming Yang said it would invest up to £750m in the first phase of its investment before expanding to create an "offshore wind industry ecosystem" around the hub.
It has been in talks with the Scottish and UK governments over the past two years.
