Plans for a new nature-themed play trail at Loch Leven are being designed to be inclusive, meaning children of all abilities should be able to enjoy it.
“That’s the bit that matters,” said a Kinross father. “Everybody gets to play. And everybody gets to look at a heron. It’s a heron. Who doesn’t want to look at a heron?”
The plans, which still need the council’s approval, would replace the existing play area with a trail inspired by the reserve’s wildlife.
Local children have already sent in suggestions, including a giant goose to climb on, a log tunnel and “an otter that talks”. The RSPB says it will consider the first two.

No letters yet. The town is uncharacteristically quiet.
