Two Forth Valley politicians have spoken of the terrifying threats they and their families have experienced.
Former Stirling MP Stephen Kerr spoke in the Scottish Parliament this week of being stalked by a man who was recently jailed for three years, while Justice Secretary Keith Brown, MSP for Clackmannanshire and Dunblane, referred to his experience of a man threatening to burn down his family home.
Mr Kerr, now a Conservative Central Scotland regional MSP, had asked Mr Brown what plans the Scottish Government had to give victims more involvement in the justice system.
