CELEBRATIONS are under way after a top Falkirk attraction was flagged as one of the most beautiful spots in the UK.
Callendar Park has received the Green Pennant award as part of the Green Flag scheme which sets the national standard for parks in the UK.
This is a first for the Forth Valley area and judges were impressed with its excellent use of green space, well-maintained facilities and high standard of safety and security.
Steve Penn, principal parks officer, said: "We have a dedicated team who do a great job looking after the park. I took the judges around and they were very impressed with the overall standard, ensuring that we met all the criteria for the award.
"This is a fantastic space and has something for everyone, whether you are from Falkirk or just visiting. We are absolutely delighted that the work that we do has been recognised and we plan to continue to raise the standard in all the parks across the district."
