It’s a grim milestone for many new arrivals making their home in Stirling as today marks one year on from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The invasion, which kicked off on February 24 2022, forced thousands of Ukrainians to flee their homes to temporary homes all over Europe – including to Scotland.
Stirling has stepped up to the plate in accepting its share of Ukrainian refugees in that time - more than 350 at the last count - with many popping up throughout the region from living and working in the city centre to enjoy new lives in Stirling’s rural beauty spots.
