A new 50-space parking area has been approved for a beauty spot near Fintry in a bid to ease traffic woes on nearby routes.
Forestry and Land Scotland submitted an application to Stirling Council planners to create a designated parking facility within the woodland to provide visitors a safe parking option at land east and south of Gartcarron Filters Cottage off the B818.
The proposal also included a road upgrade including passing places, a new link path from the car park to the existing road network and the restriction of the current bellmouth parking area.
