A project to plant trees on a stretch of a Sutherland salmon river to help combat climate change has been completed, it has been announced.

A 1.4km stretch of the River Oykel on the privately owned Benmore Estate has been planted with around 2,850 native broadleaf trees to provide shade and help prevent water temperatures from rising.

The planting was one of three in the Highlands to be carried out as part of the development phase of the nationwide Riverwoods Blueprint Project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The Kyle of Sutherland Fisheries manages the catchments of the five rivers that flow into the Kyle of Sutherland - the Rivers Carron, Oykel, Cassley, Shin and Evelix.
