The great-great grandaughter of Falkirk' s most famous philanthropist was "visibly moved" when she saw the work being done in the park he gave the town more than a century ago.
Darayn Hickingbotham, great-great granddaughter of Captain Robert Dollar, paid a visit to the park that still bears her relative's name - and she was delighted to hear about the good work now taking place there. The small mansion house at the heart of the estate, Arnotdale, is now a cafe owned and run by the charity Cyrenians and Ms Hickingbotham heard more about their work on her whistle-stop tour.
On her visit last Thursday, accompanied by her mother, she also met representatives of the Friends of Dollar Park, who have helped to rejuvenate the park in recent years.
