A woman has been sexually assaulted in a house.

The incident happened on Montague Row in Dalneigh, Inverness, on Sunday.

A man was seen walking from the city centre towards Dalneigh shortly before the attack.

He is middle aged, skinny and has short, dark hair. The man was wearing a red jacket, baseball cap, black trousers and black trainers.

He is believed to have been walking with a woman who was wearing a long, green coat.

Detective inspector Eddie Ross said: "This was a particularly distressing incident.

"The victim was uninjured but has been understandably extremely shaken by what happened.

"Our enquiries are ongoing and I would like to reassure the public that we are working to identify the individual responsible.

"I am appealing to anyone who has information which could help our investigation to come forward.

"You may have seen the individuals described but thought nothing of it at the time."

Anyone with information is asked to contact 101.
