The Church of Scotland has resolved to sell the church. A meeting, organised by Susan Carstairs, was held on Wednesday March 13th. 2024 to discuss the idea of a community buy-out. The meeting was well attended and everyone had a say. If you have an interest in being part of an ongoing discussion about this please contact Susan. This is not an ADCC initiative, but if you don't have Susan's contact info you can email us and we will put you in touch.
