There are village halls all over scotland as you would expect,most of which struggle to justify staying open.

They can be a very cheap type of accomodation especially if there is a group or even two or three people. A friend of mine told me that a lot of climbing clubs use halls throughout scotland for this reason.

Glen clova hall can be rented for a day and night for £60 ,other halls are similarly priced. There is a kitchen and this price also includes electric.
Might be an option for those of you planning Scotland next year,
 
Good luck with your new position, Doyle. Don't worry about the speech bits, no fecker ever listens to the Chairmans speeches anyway.....:D

Regarding village halls, we're quite lucky in the our village (Keiss) has a very strong Village Hall comittee....so strong that we've just opened a brand new hall at a cost of around £400k. This is for a village with a population of around 400, so it just shows that with perseverence, patience and a lot of arse kicking you can achieve a lot.

Hope it goes well, mate.:thumb2

It is built on the land of the old one, for sure! Had some excellent do's in it already, it was only completed in 2007.

Regarding the cost, this is The Mother Of All Village Halls...it's bloody huge. The main hall is big enough for a smallbore rifle range and archery, it's got a full kitchen, bar, conference rooms, Male and female showers and bogs plus other bits.

There have been some horendously-inflated costs for public buildings around the highlands in recent years - it sounded like yours was similar......... obviously not the case :thumb
