Work has begun to re-establish what is considered to be a historic Royal route which once linked Stirling and Dumbarton Castles.
Named the Kings Highway, it aims to use centuries-old paths and roads for a cycleway and footpath across west Stirlingshire.
Gargunnock man Geoff Peart – of the Kings Highway Development Group and Gargunnock Community Trust paths manager – pointed out that the route’s name had been found in old documents which referred to Gargunnock’s Main Street as the Kings Highway.
