A Canadian flag is presented to the municipal head,
or Provost, of Falkirk, the place where T.C. Douglas was born
in Scotland, as part of a ceremony paying tribute to Douglas
held there in October. Two schoolgirls, Abbi Holden and Corrie
Stewart, help present the flag to the Provost, Jim Johnston (wearing
his chain of office), along with Kathleen Hayes and William Abercrombie,
chair of the Camelon Local History Group. The girls attend Carmuirs
Primary School in Camelon, the village where Douglas was born.
Also as part of the ceremony, a plaque and bench in tribute to
Douglas were unveiled at the Falkirk Wheel, a device at the conjunction
of two large canals in Scotland. |
