Numbers of one of Scotland’s rarest plants have more than trebled on a hill in central Scotland following restoration work.

Sticky catchfly is a nationally rare species with fewer than 18 populations scattered across Britain.

Around 10,000 flowering stems of the plant were counted by volunteers during a three-day survey on Dumyat in the Ochil Hills - an increase from 3,000 in 2013.
