A woman was found in woods with a number of unexplained injuries after she is believed to have blacked out, police said.
Detectives are appealing for witnesses to help find out what happened to the 30-year-old who was discovered in a wooded area of Bannockburn, near Stirling.
Police Scotland said she suffered the injuries at some point between 10pm on Saturday and 2am on Sunday in or around Balfour Street and Randolph Crescent. It is believed she blacked out in the area of the Bannock Burn.
The woman is described as about 5ft 6ins and she was wearing a black and white dress and carrying a brown handbag.
Members of the public may have seen her walking in the area of Balfour Street and Morrison Drive at about 11pm.
Detective Inspector Hugh Louden said: "We are keen to speak to anyone who might have information that can help us find out what happened to this woman and how she came to have these injuries to her body."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
