Christmas treat: Royal Marines Band play at Strachan House Care Home

Heavenly music rang out of Strachan House Care Home as the community celebrated Christmas with The Band of His Majesty’s Royal Marines Scotland.

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Strachan House Care Home, in Blackhall, got in the Christmas spirit by inviting the community to come and join us in listening to the wonderful band playing some festive Christmas favourites.

A resident at Strachan House said, “I love to sing Christmas carols, so it was wonderful to hear all of my favourites played so beautifully by the Royal Marine Band, there really is nothing better than a good old singalong!”
