To mark the Viking Festival of Up Helly Aa, Kirkhill Beavers and Cubs put on their own version of the famous celebration held in Shetland at the end of January each year. A replica longship, built by the Cub leaders, David Hendry and Dave Knox, was carried into the playing field behind the Community Centre and placed on a firepit where it was burnt. This was followed by a firework display and then hot chocolate and marshmallows toasted over the embers.

Kirkhill District Amenities Association have been successful in securing funding for the next stage of the Kirkhill Centre Forward project to redevelop and extend Kirkhill Community Centre. The funding from Highland LEADER and Highland Council Ward Discretionary Grants together with KDAA’s own funds will employ an architect and professional team.
Following an open-tender process, the KDAA have appointed White & McGinn of Fairways Business Park, Inverness to head the project team for the Kirkhill Centre Forward project. White & McGinn are a well-known Inverness architect practice who have considerable experience of working with community organisations and charitable organisations. They will lead a professional team that will produce detailed plans to take the project to the stage to tender for the building work.
The Kirkhill Centre Forward project team have been working hard submitting funding applications and hope to be in a position to apply to Highland LEADER funding for the building work in February. With luck we’ll be able to start building work just after Gala Week in June.
