Now a new trail is set to launch this weekend, encouraging people to fill their lunch boxes and picnic baskets with local goodies along the way, while supporting food and drink firms to get back on their feet after the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic.

Carolyn McGill, coordinator of Forth Valley Food and Drink, said the scheme is ideally suited to the times in which we find ourselves.
