Falkirk Council to award Freedom of Falkirk to the Free Colliers of Redding
In April 2024, Falkirk Council agreed to award the Freedom of Falkirk to the Sir William Wallace Grand Lodge of Scotland Free Colliers, commonly known as the Free Colliers of Redding. The honour recognises over 160 years of service to the local community and beyond.
A ceremonial procession will take place on Saturday 26 April 2025, from Falkirk High street to Callendar Park where the formal presentation will be made by Provost Robert Bissett.
The Freedom of Falkirk is the highest honour the Council can bestow, reserved for individuals and organisations who have given exceptional service.
