Police efforts to find a man who “spooked” women walking in woods in Callander in December have hit a dead end.
Fears were raised in rural areas after a woman and her daughter reported being followed by a man “lurking” behind them on a cycle track in Callander.
But a top cop who lives in the area himself says it is now suspected that the man was not a local - and that his own belief is that it may have been someone with mental health issues whose intentions may have been misunderstood.
