“The Falkirk Wheel and canal network attracts so many visitors and volunteering gave us the chance to do something for the community, as well as giving us a sense of achievement.”
John McGowan from Scottish Canals said: “The Scottish Water staff are fantastic, their hard work is really appreciated as it just keeps the area looking clean and tidy for tourists and visitors to the iconic site.”.
