Signs to alert visitors to the dangers of Callander’s Bracklinn Falls have been installed at the beauty spot.
It follows the tragic death of Stirling University student, 23-year-old Eilidh McNab, at the falls last August.
Eilidh drowned and her 25-year-old friend was pulled to safety, escaping injury.
It was unclear how they came to be in the water.
Eilidh’s death prompted calls for new signage to be installed at the site to warn of its dangers.
The spectacular falls on the Keltie Water to the north of the town are popular with visitors.
The matter of signage had been raised by Trossachs and Teith councillor Evelyn Tweed at Stirling Council’s Public Safety Committee where it emerged that there had been four other incidents where people had got into difficulty at the falls in the space of a year.
Stirling Council established a working group comprised of council representatives, police, Trossachs Search and Rescue, Scottish Fire and Rescue SFRS, Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.
It had been expected that signage would be in place by Easter this year.
However, constituents had contacted councillor Tweed to inform her that no signs had materialised by that date.
After raising the matter with Stirling Council signs have now been erected at the falls.
Councillor Tweed said this week: “I am glad to see that the signage is now in place.
“Since the easing of lockdown, Bracklinn Falls has been extremely busy again as people enjoy days away and staycations.
“I hope that visitors will pay heed to the signage and the dangers in the area.
“ I would like to thank Stirling Council and in particular, Kristine Johnson for leading the steering group and to other members for working together on this issue.”
A Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority spokesperson said this week: “Bracklinn Falls is a beautiful and popular place for visitors but it is important that people are aware of the water safety risks.
“We worked closely with partners, including Stirling Council, to have the new signs installed in order to support people to enjoy the area safely.”
