Glenfarg has a new community centre located in a former village schoolhouse.
On Saturday, December 2 the Glenfarg Community Centre was officially opened.
The Schoolhouse has been refurbished as part of the Community Centre and is now available for use by the local community.
Formerly the home of the Ross family, the Schoolhouse was opened by siblings George and Margaret who were born and raised there.
The house was acquired with funding from the Scottish Land Fund, and refurbished with support from the Gannochy Trust, the Thomson Trust, the Mrs M A Lascelles Trust, RWE Innogy through Foundation Scotland, Earnside Coaches, the Kinross Investment Fund and many local volunteers, fundraisers and organisations.
Local schoolboy Callum Halliday piped the building open.
The slate plaques at the entrance were made by one of the centre trustees, Gillian Forbes.
She said: “It’s all been made possible by lots of volunteers. We are looking forward to how this new venture in Glenfarg unfolds.”
In addition to the Village Hall and meeting room, the Community Centre now offers five new meeting rooms for use by local clubs and organisations.
Kitchen facilities are also available and there are extensive garden grounds and car parking as well.
The Christmas Fayre on December 2 was the first event to take place there and was very well attended with many folk braving the wintry weather to enjoy mulled wine, mince pies and all the festive fun.
Santa Claus, his elf and many stalls selling local produce did a roaring trade.
