A popular beauty spot is begging visitors to take responsibility for their waste after it has seen a "tidal wave" of litter. 

Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park has been hard at work fighting the excess rubbish, with volunteers collecting 81 bin bags of litter in just two days.

Glasgow Times:

A social media post encouraged visitors to bin their litter or to take it with them. 

It read: “Our staff and volunteers are out fighting the tidal wave of litter that has been left in the National Park.

“In the past two days alone we collected 81 bin bags and assorted camping litter. This is in addition to our normal weekly collections. Bin your litter or #TakeItHome."

It comes after the park launched a new campaign to discourage littering entitled "Love it like a local". 

At the start of the campaign in July, the National Park's staff explained that it has seen a "devastating" amount of littering since lockdown restriction began to ease. 

Earlier in the month, more than 20 campers were charged after significant fire damage and littering was seen across the area. 

Broken glass, bin bags of rubbish and sleeping bags were left littered across the park.
