A light aircraft has crashed near a village in Scotland, and both people on board have died.

Police Scotland says it happened north east of Drymen, near Stirling, at around 4.45pm, about 16 hours ago.

A 16-year-old boy and an 80-year-old man were on board. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say the next of kin of both have been informed.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch has been told, and is now working to find out what happened.

That's everything we know.
