A series of popular Falkirk and Forth Valley pubs feature in the 2023 CAMRA Good Beer Guide.
The annual guide, released by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) and on sale now, offers an insight into pubs, bars and clubs. It highlights venues selected by its members "as places to savour good beers from small breweries as well as cask-conditioned lagers and world beers and some pubs are highlighted for serving real ciders too".
Here are 15 of the Falkirk and Forth Valley public houses that feature in the 50th edition of the guide and what CAMRA said about each of them.

5. Settle Inn, Stirling.
CAMRA said: "Warm, friendly and atmospheric inn frequented by a mix of locals, students and tourists. It lives up to its name: settle down in front of the cosy fire and you may not want to leave - ghosts or no ghosts." Photo: Contributed
CAMRA said: "Popular drinks-only pub with an enthusiastic owner, catering mainly for locals but welcoming to visitors. It is furnished with bar stools and comfortable seating, and warmed by a log-burner in the Victorian fireplace." Photo: Contributed
CAMRA said: "Owned and run by the family, the pub is situated within an ex-mining community. The bar is popular with the locals, who enjoy lively banter." Photo: Contributed
CAMRA said: "Taking its name from a type of Scottish pewter drinking vessel, this is a traditional one-room pub with a friendly atmosphere and knowledgeable staff."
