A development of 44 new homes in Insch has reached the construction stage.
Drumrossie Homes has commenced work on the first phase of its Rothney West development.
The development features a range of two to four-bedroom houses.
Phase one involves nine of the new builds with two of the homes already reserved.
The new development set at the footings of Bennachie, captures views of Dunnideer and is situated next to Insch golf course.
It is also close to the train station, which provides links for commuters to and from Inverurie, Dyce, Aberdeen and elsewhere.
The new homes will be located on Bruce Circle – a name which has been voted for by Primary 5 and 6 pupils from Insch School.
The house styles take their monikers from Scottish islands, including Barra, Tiree, Jura, Harris, Iona, Skye and Lewis.
The kitchens and bathrooms in all homes are being designed and fitted by Laings, Inverurie.
The houses are energy efficient with installed underfloor heating and an air source heat pump.
Allan Brown, managing director at Drumrossie Homes, said: "The Rothney West project has been in the planning stage for quite some time so we are thrilled that work has officially started on the development.
"The new builds will sit in a prime location in the heart of Insch, within walking distance to the railway station and other amenities.
"These quality homes have been designed to the highest standards with energy efficiency in mind.”
Established in 2004, Drumrossie’s previous developments include the Denwell Park site which consisted of 70 homes on the north side of Insch. Drumrossie Homes has built more than 100 homes in the community.
