Skirling at 750
The one-day Skirling 750 exhibition in Skirling Village Hall on Saturday 26th October celebrated 750 years of the village’s history. Throughout the day, a steady stream of visitors came through the doors. Residents, former residents, and visitors alike wrote in the comments book of their astonishment at how much history lies within one small village. The event was organized by Bob and Isobel Hunter and funding came from the SSE Clyde Wind Farm via the Skirling Community Development Trust.

SKIRLING COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN
After consultations with Skirling community members during May to September 2023, our 5-year Community Action Plan (2024–2029) was launched at the end of March 2024 with groups working under 5 Themes:
- Safe Skirling – traffic, pavements and roads.
- Well-connected Skirling – improving access
- Skirling community life
- Environment and heritage
- Sustainable and resilient Skirling
The plan will be our guide for what we – as a community – try to make happen over the next 5 years. Download a copy of the CAP by clicking here and sign up to help with the Themes here.
