Residents across the Falkirk district are being urged to surrender their firearms and ammunition, as part of a Police Scotland campaign.
People in possession, for which they do not hold a valid certificate, will be able to hand these to police until Sunday May 29.
In addition to being able to hand in firearms and ammunition, the public will be able to hand over replica firearms, air weapons, BB guns, imitation firearms, component parts and other ballistic items.
Dedicated stations for the surrender are:
Forth Valley Division
- Stirling Randolphfield
- Falkirk
Assistant Chief Constable Alan Speirs said: "The purpose of the firearms surrender campaign is to remove firearms from criminal availability and therefore reduce the risk of harm to the public and our communities.
"People will be able to surrender unlicensed weapons and ammunition to a number of dedicated police stations throughout Scotland and I would encourage people to do so."
Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Veterans Keith Brown said: "I would encourage anyone in possession of an unneeded or unlicensed firearm or air weapon to safely hand it over to police at one of their designated police stations.
"Firearm offences remain at historically low levels in Scotland, but by removing unwanted weapons this important campaign by Police Scotland will help keep our communities safe and prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands."
