Carrondale Residents Celebrate 21st Anniversary of Falkirk Wheel in Style

In a heartwarming tribute to the 21st Anniversary of the Falkirk Wheel, residents of Carrondale Care Home experienced a day filled with joy, camaraderie, and unexpected delights. The event, organised in collaboration with Cycling Without Age Scotland SCIO (a charity that works closely with Carrondale), was not only a celebration of this iconic landmark but also a meaningful culmination of a sponsored cycle in memory of the late ‘Stormin Norman’ Ridley.

The outing provided Carrondale residents with more than just a scenic day at the Falkirk Wheel; it became an opportunity to connect with old friends and make new ones. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, shared stories, and a sense of community spirit as everyone came together to mark this special occasion.

While the Falkirk Wheel’s 21st Anniversary was a significant milestone in itself, the day’s true highlight was the adorable presence of Tony, a 13-week-old Billy goat. Residents, team members, and volunteers alike found immense joy in interacting with this charming addition to the celebration.
