A total of £3m has been awarded to 10 tourism projects across Scotland, to improve visitor facilities and promote low-carbon transport options.
The projects have all been recommended for approval - subject to conditions - to receive cash from round five of the Rural Tourism Infrastructure Fund (RTIF).
Managed by VisitScotland on behalf of the Scottish Government, the RTIF was created to improve the quality of the visitor experience in rural areas that have faced pressure on their infrastructure due to this increase in visitor numbers.
