Residents at HC-One’s Forth Bank Care Home in Kildean, Stirling, flew the Scottish flag with pride as they celebrated St Andrew’s Day.
The home threw a Scottish celebration on Friday 30th November enabling Residents, families and the community to come together to enjoy the National day.
In true patriotic fashion, Residents and staff wore their favourite or family’s tartan including hats, kilts and scarves, whilst enjoying a traditional meal prepared by the head chef. Visitors and Residents enjoyed seeing Scottish dancers perform, with some even joining in.
Yvonne Graham, Home Manager at Forth Bank Care Home commented:
“It is very important for us to respect and encourage traditions and we knew a day of importance, such as this for our Scottish Residents, was worthy of a celebration.
“The celebration was enjoyable for everyone that attended and the Residents particularly enjoyed welcoming guests into their home.”
St Andrew’s Day celebrates Scotland’s patron saint, a fisherman well known for being strong, sociable and fair. He encouraged people to share what they had with those in need and wished for people to be kind and charitable.
