Over 1,000 trees are set to be cut down from a Paisley beauty spot amid concerns over disease.
The outbreak was discovered at Gleniffer Braes and means that 1,041 larch trees will be felled by the end of August in an attempt to minimise the spread. Further works will be undertaken to remove a number of dead and windblown trees within the same area.
The patch of woodland will be removed because of phytophthora ramorum - a highly destructive, algae-like organism which causes extensive damage and death in some plant and forest species, including larch trees.
