THANKYOU STIRLING

The parents of inspirational teenager Eilidh Brown this week thanked the people of Stirling for helping them create their daughter’s legacy.

The respite and holiday home for children and young people with cancer near Thornhill was officially opened on Monday.

After Eilidh passed away from cancer 12 years ago her parents Gordon and Nicole appealed to the people of Stirling to get behind their bid to create the house.

Locals responded by raising more than £600,000 through everything from marathons to bake sales.

“The people of Stirling can be really proud of this house because it is here because of them,” said Nicole. “This is what I envisaged. It’s a love story this house. Built with love. For the love of Eilidh.”
