Blackness is popular with walkers and families but the public toilets have been closed to save cash
Public toilets in a village popular with walkers, cyclists and families have been closed by Falkirk Council in a bid to cut costs.
The small village of Blackness, on the Firth of Forth, is a favourite destination for visitors, with its picturesque harbour and small beach with spectacular views to Fife and the Forth bridges. The owner of the tiny village's only pub and restaurant, the Lobster Pot, says the closure of the toilets is a real concern to him.
"Many mothers come to the beach with children and older infirm people like flat walking paths along the seashore."
