Arrested overdrugs
A 24-year-old man has been arrested and charged with being concerned in the supply of class A drugs in Stirling.
He was caught allegedly in possession of a quantity of cocaine and ecstasy near to Old Stirling Bridge.
The man had drugs worth £1970 when officers, who were acting on intelligence, searched him in Bridgehaugh Road on Friday, November 15. He was due to appear at Stirling Sheriff Court on Monday.
A £1m Rural Stirling Housing Association development in Doune has been built on a former sawmill site.
The Hugh Campbell and Sons sawmill, which closed in 2004, dated back to the 1900s.
Six properties now occupy the site – four cottage flats and two semi-detached houses.
The name given to the development, Woodyard Court, is a nod to the business which had a strong link to Doune for over a century.
The project was developed in partnership with Stirling Council and NHS Scotland which has created the neighbouring Doune Health Centre.

Evelyn Tweed opened the development along with RSHA chairperson Mark Griffiths.
Mark said:“Here is another example of outstanding new housing in one of our communities which makes a real difference to people’s lives. Built to an extremely high specification and with the best insulation possible for warm and comfortable homes, they set a new standard for local housing.”
The total cost of the development was just short of a million pounds at £994,198.
This consisted of a Scottish Government grant of £663,000 and £288,000 in borrowing by RSHA.
There was a further contribution from NHS Scotland of £43,198 for road infrastructure which is shared with the health centre.
