Welcome to Kinlochard

Just to let you know that there is a new page under “Kinlochard” entitled “Access” - Please consult this page for updates on dates when access to the field and the loch via the field is restricted, thanks. Saturday 11th May 2024 is the next due for exemption when the community field will be exempt from access, if so, please access other lochs or other sites on Loch Ard on this date. Thanks to all who have made previous exemptions a success and we hope advance warning will continue to make it possible to run our hall and not cause too much stress on the access side.

Wonderful Charity Car Wash for Ukraine this weekend - the brainchild of one of our kids but all his friends and their parents pitched in

An amazing £826.05 was raised by washing cars in KVH Car park - see pic on NEWS

Some great pics of the litter Pick on the NEWS page!

The hall car park remains closed and local parking is very limited. If visiting the area, please park with consideration for the privacy and amenity of the loch side residents and be sure you are not compromising access for local residents and emergency vehicles

Thanks for your consideration

There is no Kinlochard Gathering this year, 2023

Kinlochard’s village hall looks out over the the stunning landscape of Loch Ard surrounded by forested hillsides and watched over by Scotland's most Southerly Munro, Ben Lomond.

Book Kinlochard’s beautiful village hall for your party, wedding reception, business meeting or even stay overnight.

Kinlochard Village Hall was built in 1958 on land gifted by the Joynson family. The original building was upgraded and had 3 extensions added in 2011 giving the hall as seen above. The Hall is owned and run by the community and its official title is Kinlochard Village Hall (SCIO) Scottish Charity No. SC024877. That makes us an incorporated entity run by a Committee elected from the membership, the membership being open to all residents over 16 in the SCIO catchment area. If you would like to join (no charge and no commitment) please complete our membership application form. The community worked very hard with fundraising and made many grant applications, 10 years later they managed to get both the plans and the funding in place and work began in 2010. A visitor who came to our Gala/Highland Games, which was one of our main vehicles for fundraising, can be heard on Radio Scotland in the audio clip below. We hope that small extract gives a feel for our community.

The hall is first and foremost for the community but we are happy to rent it out when it can be fitted round local bookings. If you are interested in making a booking please fill in the on line booking enquiry form. If you are a group with more than 2 cars visiting the area and hoping to use parking facilities at the hall, please email sec@kinlochard.org in advance to avoid disappointment for both your group and hall bookings We find things are increasingly busy and often we cannot make parking available.
