Huge drums of corrosive industrial cleaner has been found dumped at a scenic Scots sport.
Workers at the Loch Ken Trust, in Dumfries and Galloway, were stunned to find 25 litre drums of Red Label Hypochlorite dumped in a layby.
There was still corrosive cleaner left in some of the bottles and the Trust has urged anyone with information to pass it on.
A post from the Facebook group read: "(We) popped in to check Parton lay-by yesterday afternoon, expecting to clear up a bit of litter, but instead found that someone had dumped 25 litre drums of Red Label Hypochlorite, some with small amounts of liquid still inside.
"According to the drum labels, this is for professional use only, I’m guessing as it’s a concentrated corrosive cleaner and should be disposed of as per the instructions on there.
"Three of the drums were minus their caps, lying close to the tarmac, but a fourth could be seen, where it had been thrown over the shrubbery.
"There were at least six plastic caps and anti tamper rings left there too. Unfortunately we couldn’t find the other drums in the dense undergrowth.
"Hopefully the Council Community Safety Team will be able to make progress from the batch numbers on the labels, or if anyone has information, please pass it on."
