With the relaxation of the five-mile rule for travelling coming tomorrow, the country's beauty spots are bracing themselves for visitors arriving over this weekend.

Stirling Council is to reopen routes at Callendar and from Drymen to Balmaha after emergency closures to keep people away from Loch Lomond and Sandy Fraser admits that businessmen like himself and the local communities have to work more closely together.

"We have generally had a good relationship between the businesses and the locals, but I would have to say that has been severely stretched in the last 14 weeks and we've got some bridge building to do and we really need to recognise that I like it to be sunny with lots of people coming to the national park, some of our neighbours must dread it and wish for rain," he tells BBC Radio Scotland.

James Fraser, chair of the conservation group Friends of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, adds: "It is a real milestone day tomorrow and it's one that businesses in the park and throughout Scotland have looked forward to."

"People have been coming here, flouting the rules for weeks and residents have suffered greatly with people coming and with car parks and toilets closed."
