Backing has been given for a new bridge to be built at a much-loved Callander beauty spot.
Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park planners have approved an application by the authority to erect a replacement bridge at Bracklinn Falls.
Designed to last for the next 120 years, the new structure will be a feature of a popular walking route.
In their decision, park planners said: “Bracklinn Falls is a designated tourist site on the Keltie Water, located north-east of Callander.
“It can be accessed from Callander via a single-track road to a public car park and then via a footpath through an area of native woodland. Keltie Water is designated as a Special Area of Conservation, the designation ends just to the north of the proposed bridge site.
“The application site relates to the area required to accommodate the span of the bridge across Bracklinn Falls, from Brackland Glenn following the footpath and track to the south for approximately 750 metres. Brackland Glenn is a popular location with tourist information boards and informal access routes to the river. The area of woodland around the bridge and river corridor is designated as ancient woodland.
“The previous bridge has recently been removed for safety reasons and the site is currently secured with ‘heras’ fencing. The gorge has two rocky outcrops with concrete remains from the original bridge on each embankment, and some concrete steps left in situ.”
The planners said the bridge - which spans 20 metres - had been designed for use mainly by pedestrians and “the occasional off-road mountain bike and trail bike users”.
They added: “It will span across the rocky outcrop at the narrow part of the gorge and will be sited on the position of the previous bridge.
“The bridge will be

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Swizz Beatz and Timbaland have settled their lawsuit with Triller, after suing the service last month for $28 million, an amount they contended was owed after their sale of Verzuz to the service in March 2021. Specific terms of the settlement were not revealed in the late Thursday announcement, beyond a promise that “the settlement will increase the ownership stake given to the artists that Timbaland and Swizz Beatz brought to Triller as part of the original deal.” “Verzuz has always been a platform that is by the artists, for the artists and with the people,” Swizz Beatz and Timbaland said in a statement. “We’re glad to come to an amicable agreement with Triller and continue giving fans the music and community that they’ve come to know and love from the brand.”
Caroline Framke Chief TV Critic It takes six episodes for “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” (yes, that is indeed the show’s full name) to meaningfully expand beyond the scope of either the serial killer or Evan Peters’ portrayal of him. In that episode, “Silenced,” directed by Paris Barclay and written by Janet Mock and David McMillan, the story of Dahmer victim Tony Anthony Hughes comes to the forefront. Tony (played with warm charm by “Deaf U” alum Rodney Burford) was a gregarious aspiring model with a big heart. He was Deaf, Black, gay, a great dancer. His friends and mother (a moving Karen Malina White) loved him very much. With every moment Burford gets to give Tony new life, the inevitable end of “Silenced” becomes all the more harrowing, and the cops’ inaction to find the truth all the more infuriating. But as the show’s nonsensical maze of a title suggests, this episode is an exception rather than the rule. Otherwise, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s new Netflix series is a grim, sepia-toned slog that rarely justifies its own existence.
