A former police officer is set to take on a gruelling charity cycle from Stirling Castle all the way to the Colosseum in Rome in aid of the respite home built in memory of tragic teen Eilidh Brown.
Johnny Dreczkowski, from Bridge of Allan, will cycle more than 1,400 miles in May as he bids to complete the enormous challenge.
The 54-year-old previously worked as a Detective Inspector with the Head of Counter Terrorism and Covert Specialist Training at Police Scotland following almost 30 years police service.
