Highland councillors have agreed to maintain their opposition to a planned modernisation of a wind farm on Skye.
Developer Renantis has proposed removing 12 turbines at Ben Aketil Wind Farm and replacing them with nine new ones. It also intends to build a battery storage scheme.
The new turbines could have a maximum blade tip height of 200m (656ft) – twice the height of the existing machines.
Highland Council had previously objected to the project and in a new report planning officers said "re-powering" the 18-year-old wind farm, near Dunvegan, would have adverse environmental and visual impacts.
Renantis said it was disappointed councillors had upheld their previous objection.
It has offered an alternative plan for slightly smaller turbines, 180m (591ft), according to a report due the council's north planning applications committee.
