A US doughnut giant is to open its first dedicated shop in the Scottish Highlands.
North Carolina-based Krispy Kreme, which now sells across the globe, is to open a store in Inverness next week.
The company said: "Krispy Kreme is bringing sweet treats to Inverness with the city’s much-anticipated first location opening.
"What’s more, Krispy Kreme is celebrating opening its first dedicated shop in the Highlands by giving the lucky first customer in the queue on opening day a year’s supply of doughnuts."

Krispy Kreme was established in 1937 when Vernon Rudolph brought to life his secret yeast-raised doughnut recipe in an old warehouse.
