Maryburgh Amenities Centre

The Maryburgh Amenities Centre was built as the new village hall around 1980. It consists of a large games hall with a stage at one end, a small hall with kitchen facilities, two changing rooms for team sports, and toilet facilities. It has been used for a wide range of activities such as sports and games, concerts, meetings, youth groups, playschool, etc and is supported by funds raised by user groups and the Annual Maryburgh Gala

Scout Centre
Scout Centre
The old cottage and adjacent land at Tollie, Brahan, was gifted to the Scout Association for training purposes and as a camp site in the late 60s/early 70s. The cottage was upgraded and was re-opened in July 1987 by the late Mrs Matheson of Brahan who is seen here receiving a basket of flowers from Stuart Bain and Alan Walmsley. To Mrs Matheson's right is the late Alexander Ferguson, Rector of Dingwall Academy. The camp site closed in [?] and the area is now a golf course and a centre for observing Red Kite raptors.
