A woman died in a tragic accident at a popular beauty spot in Callander yesterday (Thursday).
A multi-agency emergency response – involving police, fire and rescue, ambulance, Coastguard and mountain rescue – was sparked following reports of two women in difficulties in the water at Bracklinn Falls at around 11.30am.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “Whilst one of the women was safely recovered, the other was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.”
The air ambulance and Coastguard search and rescue helicopter were both spotted on a fairway at the nearby Callander Golf Club.
The main road to the falls was closed for several hours as emergency services responded to the incident.
Enquiries into the tragedy are continuing.
