Wonderful wildlife on show

Our readers have been sending in their snaps of the Stirling area - with plenty of material for amateur photographers, it’s picturesque views provide some stunning shots.

School holidays have seen regular contributors out and about with cameras at the ready across some of the region’s most scenic routes.

We’ve had more pics from readers including herons, ducks and even a red squirrel.

We’re always happy to receive photos from our wonderfully photogenic area and if you have any that you wish to be included within the pages of the Stirling Observer simply send them to news@ stirlingobserver.co.uk.
