What is a Great Place Guiding Volunteer?
We will work with existing walking and cycling programmes across the Falkirk area to include fun, informative heritage guiding in their programmes, as well as developing a number of set routes/ scripts for Great Place activities. The Great Place guiding programme offers the scope to explore and share areas of interest (for example – Romans in Scotland, or local wildlife) and well as learn and deliver a specific route, according to preference. The Great Place project is a district-wide 2-year programme of activities celebrating the places, people, traditions and industry of the Falkirk area with thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
