Inverness: up to date track plans?

[BRX]

Does anyone know if a current track plan for Inverness station and associated yards/sidings exists in the public domain?

It's quite hard to make out certain details from aerial images, and it looks like there have been some relatively recent changes to the layout.

Freight traffic to Inverness is relatively sparse, but there can be a surprising amount of activity in the yards on a weekday morning, with shunting operations for the sleeper, the Tesco train and sometimes the cement train going on simultaneously. The track layout is not entirely straightforward - must keep the signallers quite busy for a few hours.

Yes, there is a full track plan of the Inverness area on page 19 of the Scotland and Isle of Man edition
of the Railway Track Diagrams series (also known as Quail maps):

Book 1: Scotland & IoM - TRACKmaps

Book 1: Scotland & IoM covers the network north of the Border (generally as Network Rail's Scotland Route), the railways of the Isle of Man and various Heritage lines. It also includes the SPT Subway in Glasgow and Trams in Edinburgh. Now in 7th edition, the maps are up to date as at the end of...

implies that track revisions in Millburn yard were underway in 2021, and that Quail book looks to have been published in 2021 so I'm not sure if it would be fully up to date.
