A man and woman killed in separate Highland house fires have been named.

Sybil Grape, 93, died at her home on Pulteney Street in Ullapool on Saturday afternoon.

Meanwhile, 83-year-old Robert Forrest died in a fire on Duke Street in Golspie on Sunday.

The causes of the fires have not been established.

A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "Two elderly people died following house fires in Ullapool and Golspie on Saturday and Sunday."

The SFRS has urged people to check on elderly neighbours and ensure they have working smoke alarms.

Local senior officer for the Highlands, Scott Hay, added: "These two fires at the weekend were very tragic indeed and obviously our thoughts are with their families and friends at this incredibly difficult time.

"We will be carrying out Post Domestic Incident Responses in the Ullapool and Golspie areas, speaking to residents about home fire safety and offering them free home fire safety visits."
