Highland Council has taken the decision to remove padlocks and any other attachments from the Coghill Bridge at Wick riverside.
A spokesperson for the local authority said: These padlocks detract from the historic nature of the bridge as well as causing paint damage and encouraging rust spots to the recently refurbished guard rails. There have also been incidents of pedestrians and cyclists catching clothing on them while passing each other.
