The Mòd officially closed on Saturday with a mass choir procession through Inverness city centre, culminating in a ceremony handing the reigns over to representatives from the 2015 host town, Oban.
Over 3,000 competitors took part in 200 competitions during The Mòd, whilst almost 100 Fringe events added to the electric atmosphere in Inverness.
Workshops, book readings, come and try sessions, concerts and gigs took place morning, noon and night across the Highland Capital.
Visitor numbers are estimated as being over 8500 and came from across Scotland, the UK, Canada and even the United Arab Emirates.
The festival returned to Inverness for the first time in 17 years and is expected to have brought up to £3 million to the local economy.
Convener of The Highland Council, Councillor Jimmy Gray said: “The Highland Council sees this year’s Mod as an incredible success for the city as well as for competitors, their families, supporters, visitors to the Highlands, and not to mention the people of Inverness, who have joined in and embraced this vibrant celebration of Gaelic culture.
“Businesses have received a very welcome economic boost at what is traditionally a quieter time of the year and the atmosphere during the day and in the evening within the city centre has been really fantastic. I am sure the positive benefits will be felt for a long time to come and we look forward to the opportunity of welcoming the Mod back to Inverness in the near future.”
