A planned visitor centre close to the famous Dunmore Pineapple will just be a "cafe and farm shop" used to justify a housing development, angry residents have said.
George Russell Construction has applied for permission from Falkirk Council to build the visitor centre near the historic attraction.
The proposed centre would be cross-funded by the construction of 82 new houses, stretching for two kilometres on what is currently part of Airth Mains Farm - something many local residents say is "unjustifiable and unwanted".
