There are few things more satisfying than restoring an old and forgotten building to its former glory. That is exactly what we plan to do with Dalmellington as we breath new life into the building and transform it into a community hub.

To celebrate #OutdoorClassroomDay, we want to highlight our ongoing @CoalfieldCLP Attainment through Archaeology project So far, we have explored maps, created 3D models, done Historic Building and graveyard recording & more!🗺✏️  Participants also received a @HHAwardScot🏅🤩

@stuart2464 @gallowayglens Crossmichael Community Woodlands, Crossmichael Community Heritage & Living History Project (the old hearse hoose) and Barrhill Wood in Kirkcudbright!

We had a great time down south yesterday to visit the @gallowayglens team and see some of their projects! Thanks for hosting us! We even avoided the rain ☔️ From heritage hubs at the Smiddy and Crossmichael to footpaths and red squirrels 🐿️🌲🥾 finishing in Kirkcudbright!

We are very excited to announce that we will be starting work on the 'Bank Building' in Dalmellington. Investing the funds to create a space that can be accessed by businesses and residents means we can provide the infrastructure our communities need to deliver positive change.

Today we hosted the @CoalfieldCLP team, touring the Galloway Glens area, visiting projects, and hearing how our heritage can drive economic development and help to tackle todays problems facing rural communities. Part of the @HeritageFundSCO funded family!
