Boss of Larbert's Station Hotel hosts lunch with cash going to Strathcarron Hospice
John Black from the Station Hotel in Larbert raised over £2200 last year for Strathcarron Hospice by holding a lunch in his premises for the older members of the community.

John said he was delighted to once again be fundraising for the hospice.
He said: “I had an uncle and a cousin who were in Strathcarron a few years ago and I’m happy to again do some fundraising for them given all the good work they do.”
John added it had been a great success last year and they were able to add to the tally through raffles, as well as a charity tin on the bar.
