Skirling 750

The one-day Skirling 750 exhibition in Skirling Village Hall on Saturday 26th October celebrated 750 years of the village’s history.  From 10 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon, 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.

An Evening to Remember

In the evening, a good crowd gathered to enjoy refreshments and to listen to brothers George and Charlie Wheeler-Carmichael share stories of growing up in Skirling House. Afterwards, visitors lingered among the displays, exchanging memories and anecdotes of village life.

Looking Ahead

It was a grand day. Although the exhibition in the hall could only last one day, plans are afoot for it to appear at Biggar Museum—possibly as soon as December—giving many more people the chance to discover the story of this extraordinary little village and its people. It is also envisaged that a visual record of the event and some of its exhibits will be available online as part of an eco-museum.
