Ann Shaw, spokeswoman for the objectors, told the BBC: "Over a thousand signatures is an incredible number to collect, and we hope that the weight of our arguments will win the day."

Developers lodged an appeal with the Scottish Government in March after Stirling Council voted against plans for the tennis and golf complex and luxury homes.

The council had received over 1,000 objections to the proposals.

The plans, which were supported by Sir Alex Ferguson, and Andy and Jamie Murray, include a four-star hotel, visitors centre, museum, parkland and luxury housing.

The appeal, submitted by developers to the Scottish Government said the proposed development could be 'considered as both nationally and locally important'.

A decision on the appeal is expected from a Scottish Government reporter following a site visit.
