Lochinver Community Hall

Lochinver Community Hall/ Village Hall

On the opposite corner from the Assynt Visitor Centre is the Village Hall. It is one of the places to which the locals flock for ceilidhs, concerts, meetings etc. Visiting musicians and theatrical groups come to Lochinver as part of their national tours, on a regular basis. Is is also used regularly by the Primary School which does not have a hall of its own. It has all the facilities one would expect of a modern hall.

The hall works in competition with the local leisure centre. The hall runs a programme of arts and entertainments planned well in advance and is supported by locals and tourists.

  • Lochinver Village

    I was awake early and took off down the village for a walk and to take some photographs. The village is pretty and right on the sea. It is a super base for holidays in the area, a lot of walkers and hill climbers stay here and the Assynt Visitor Centre is situated here. The village is closed early on a Tuesday so be aware that you may not get fuel, etc at that time.

    The centre was not open at the time we were there but there was a display of local rocks outside which was interesting (well, if you are at all interested in geology it is!).

  • Halkirk’s village hall – the Ross Institute Halkirk

    The Ross Institute was the first public building in Scotland to have an electric clock. It is the village hall where dances, playgroups and indoor bowling are held on a regular basis.

  • The Village Hall or Carnegie Hall

    In the village hall, all sorts of activities take place. Since its opening - with a grand concert and dance - in 1902, the hall has remained central to social and cultural life. It is a hundred years and more since the foundation stone was laid by Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, and the hall and little library continue faithfully to serve the community. But it is time to put something back.
