Residents are upset that trees between Raigmore estate and the hospital are to be cut down to create a bus link.
Angry residents in an Inverness neighbourhood have started a petition in a bid to prevent trees from being felled to make way for a controversial bus lane.
The trees, some said to be hundreds of years old, form the boundary between Raigmore Estate and Raigmore Hospital.
But some are to be felled so a bus gate can be created, allowing buses to run from Churchill Road/Ashton Road on the estate and through the hospital site to Old Perth Road under a long-standing planning condition attached to Inverness Campus.

The rollout of the Covid-19 vaccination programme is gathering pace in the Highlands.
Almost 43,000 people across the NHS Highland area have now received the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, health bosses have announced.
The figure represents 13 per cent of the population in the Highlands along with Argyll and Bute.
NHS Highland also said all care home residents, apart from those homes who currently have a Covid-19 outbreak, have been offered their first vaccination with figures showing a 90 per cent uptake rate.
