Work to repair a crumbling bridge near Croftamie is to finally begin next month, ten months after the route was shut.
Traders and villagers have been left frustrated by the amount of time the Catterburn Bridge, on the A809, has been out of bounds, with business owners reporting a dip in profits as they miss out on the busy tourist season.
Stirling Council have this week confirmed that a contractor for the repair project has now been instated and the work will get underway in August.
