Loch Lomond campaigners have made a final stand ahead of the decision on whether the controversial Flamingo Land proposals will go ahead.
Save Loch Lomond group gathered outside Lomond Parish Church, joined by campaigner MSP Ross Greer.
The decision on the fate of the £40m Flamingo Land plans will be made at a meeting there. It is likely the discussion will take several hours but will kick off around 1.15pm.
The organisation smiled upon the MSP's arrival as he has closely tied himself with the group as his party, the Scottish Greens, have adamantly opposed the plans.

The petition started by the Greens has gathered over 150,000 signatures.
The meeting today will hear from representatives of the group and organisations who have submitted a form to speak.
Seats are being filled quickly with members of the public invited to take their seat at 11.30am.
We will be reporting on the decision as soon as it is announced.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
