A couple who claim their energy bills have skyrocketed due to their neighbour's 11m high hedge have taken their case to the Scottish Government.
Gary and Joanna Short, who live in Lawmarnock Crescent in Bridge of Weir, say a 13-tree hedge at a house belonging to Eliza Wylie in Troon Drive is restricting light into their living room and causing large amounts of debris to fall onto their property.
The pair - who have two young kids - claim the situation is ruining their enjoyment of their £552,000 home.
