As warm weather hits the Forth Valley, we are being urged to stay safe around water.
33 people lost their life in Scotland last year after accidentally drowning.
Temperatures are expected to hit 27 degrees celsius today - and could reach 29 tomorrow.
Peter Farrer, Scottish Water’s chief operating officer, said: “While people should enjoy any good weather we have and take pleasure at Scotland’s beautiful lochs, reservoirs, rivers and beaches, it’s absolutely vital they stay safe at all times and act responsibly.
“As a number of tragic deaths in Scotland in recent years have shown, safety is a serious issue in all bodies of water. At reservoirs, while the water may look harmless, there are many hidden dangers. We need to ensure everyone is aware of these hazards. We are reminding parents to keep their children safe and asking everyone to behave responsibly around reservoirs and other watercourses.”
Scottish Water say they'll have ranger teams patrolling some of the busiest reservoirs - including Carron Valley, North Third and Cocksburn.
