No tree surgeon listed in Crianlarich yet.

A tree surgeon carries out specialist tree work - pruning, crown reduction, felling, stump grinding and emergency storm damage clearance.

Trees near buildings, power lines or boundaries need professional attention - chainsaw work at height is not a DIY job under any circumstances.

Check they carry public liability insurance and ask whether the trees are covered by a Tree Preservation Order or are in a conservation area before any work begins.

Crianlarich is a village at the junction of Strath Fillan and Glen Falloch, where the A82 and A85 roads meet in the western Highlands.

It is a rail junction too - the West Highland Line splits here, with branches to Oban and Fort William diverging at the station.

The village is a popular base for Munro-bagging, with Ben More, Stob Binnein and several other peaks within striking distance.

The West Highland Way passes through on its route north and Crianlarich's bunkhouse, tearoom and pub cater to walkers, cyclists and climbers passing through.

Stirling is a council area stretching from the city of Stirling in the heart of Scotland's central belt northward and westward into the Trossachs, the Breadalbane hills and some of the most dramatic Highland landscape in the country.

The city of Stirling sits at the historic crossing point of the River Forth, the strategic gateway between the Lowlands and the Highlands - a position that made it one of the most fought-over places in Scottish history.

North of the city, the character changes rapidly: the lowland farmland of the Forth valley gives way to the lochs, forests and mountains of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and further north to the remote glens of Breadalbane.

The council area takes in everything from suburban commuter towns like Bridge of Allan and Dunblane to Highland villages like Killin, Crianlarich and Tyndrum - an extraordinary range of landscape and settlement within a single local authority.

Transport links are strong around the city, with the M9, M80 and several rail lines converging on Stirling, though the Highland communities to the north rely on the A84, A85 and the scenic West Highland railway line.
