Internationally-renowned chef and restaurateur Albert Roux who had close links with Inverness has died at the age of 85.
Mr Roux and his brother, Michel, were credited with bringing great French cooking to the UK and the pair made gastronomic history in 1982 when their London restaurant, Le Gavroche, became the first in Britain to earn three Michelin stars.
