A new report has revealed a sharp drop in the number of drug deaths in Stirling in 2021 - but campaigners are urging caution over the issue.
The data from the National Records of Scotland, released on Friday, showed a small drop in the number of drug-related fatalities across Scotland for the first time since 2013.
In Stirling, the drug death total has almost halved in a year from 31 in 2020 to 16 in 2021, with a general rate of 21.2 per 100,000 of population.
