The popular Dunblane Area Green Travel Map has now been updated thanks to funding from the Smarter Choices Smarter Places Open Fund. First published in 2011, the map has helped many people to discover walking & cycling routes and explore our lovely local area. Many other projects use the maps too, e.g. for health walks, cycle training, travel planning. This latest update includes new paths and community suggestions made in the Map Survey.
As well as being online here at Dunblane.info, free paper copies are available at schools, Dunblane Library, Braeport Centre,“Weigh Ahead”, Doune PO/Information Centre, Recyke-a-bike and some local bike shops. Enjoy!

Stirling Council has launched a public consultation for the Spaces for People initiative in Dunblane: : https://spaces-for-people-stirling.hub.arcgis.com/pages/dunblane
The Council would like to share the designs for the following package of measures that were proposed for Dunblane: (Please click the "Design" links to view)
1. Provide enhanced cycle parking in High Street (near train station/near newsagent/near postbox).
2. Introduce 20mph limit from The Cross and High Street roundabout (next to Gold Postbox) to Fourways roundabout, continuing until Marks and Spencer's on Stirling Road.
- 20mph Zone
- 20mph Sign Details
- Signs and Markings View 1&2
- Signs and Markings View 3&4
- Signs and Markings View 5&6
- Sign Detail for Stirling Road, Springfield Terrace, & Old Doune Road
3. Install artwork on road next to High School to highlight pedestrian priority. Please note that during the design process we agreed that the installation of bollards would be more effective than the installation of artwork, which is reflected in the proposal.
The designs will be installed in spring of this year, initially on a temporary basis for up to 18 months. During this time Stirling Council will be regularly monitoring and evaluating the project to ensure it is working as intended.
If it is shown that the project has longer term benefits outwith assisting in the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, and prior to the project being made permanent, there will be a statutory three-week consultation period as part of the Traffic Regulation Order process. In the meantime should you wish to comment on the designs, please do so in the accompanying text box.
It would be good to have a wide response to the consultation. The comments box can be accessed at : https://spaces-for-people-stirling.hub.arcgis.com/pages/dunblane
