A MAN has died in a quad-bike accident near Dunblane.
The incident happened on an unclassified road near Kilbryde Castle just outside the town, police said.
The 60-year-old man died at the scene at around 4pm on Saturday.
No-one else is thought to have been involved.
Meanwhile, a 24-year-old man seriously injured when his car struck a wall on Lewis on Saturday morning has been named locally as Iain Ruairidh Gillies.
Mr Gillies, who lives with his girlfriend in Skigersta, Ness, is the son of the district school's former headmaster.
He is fighting for his life in hospital in Glasgow after his Ford Focus smashed into a stone wall in the north of the island.
It happened shortly before 1am.
The force of the impact destroyed the front of the car.
No other vehicle was involved and he was the only person inside the car.
Mr Gillies was airlifted from Stornoway to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley for treatment.
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
