Culross Stables has quite a few tops/ jackets/ hats on our coat hooks and it would be wonderful if these could be reclaimed. Photos attached to help jog your memory on what has been left behind. All clothes unclaimed by the end of the month will be donated to a charity shop. Thanks for your help.

🎉🎉🎉 THANK YOU FOR AN INCREDIBLE YEAR 🎉🎉🎉

On this last day of 2024, we would like to say a huge 'thank you' to everyone who has helped to make Culross Stables Community Hub into a thriving and vibrant place for all.

It's been an incredible year and we would like to give a special thank you to our hard working staff team, our many volunteers and helpers, our activity providers, and all who have donated their time, energy, skills and home baking & tablet - together you have helped us create a community place where classes and activities were available on 328 days of the year, excluding our holidays, meaning we had something on offer a phenomenal 99% of the available days!

This year has seen a transformation of our outdoor spaces with the completion of our Community Bakery in March, its extension in October, Anchor Garden make-over in March, new back gates fitted in May, the outdoor kitchen constructed & creation of raised beds in July, CCTV fitted in August, flat roof repaired in September and new outdoor decking laid in October.

We are also well on our way towards raising the 5% contribution towards our new replacement roof project, due to take place in 2025.

If you would like to be a part of the Culross Stables community, our activities are listed above or come along to the Community Crust & Bakery from 12 noon on a Friday and make yourself at home.

Doors open again on Monday 6th January for Toddlers group.
Until then, we would like to wish you a very happy and healthy New Year.

Clare, Elaine, Martin & Robin

Brussels sprouts, Brussels sprouts!
Every Christmas we roll you out!
We might not love you, but it’s true,
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas, without you.

Harvested at Bo'mains Farm yesterday, only 3 miles away as the crow flies, across the river from Culross, these delicious sprouts will be for sale at Culross Stables from 11am tomorrow - along with bread, scones, cakes, eggs, Brewster's potatoes, jam, chocolate spread, honey and tablet.

We also have 'who gives a crap' toilet rolls, a must for everyone's Christmas stocking. 🤣🤣🤣

Our thanks to Kim for donating the fabulous tablet and to Fay our new volunteer in our wee shop.

All profits from our wee shop support the activities at Culross Stables.

We are now offering free range eggs, Brewster’s Maris Piper potatoes, local produced honey, tablet, cakes and we hope to soon offer other basic ingredients too.

Culross Stables Community Hub were delighted to gift our community building to Cairneyhill Scouts this weekend to work towards their volunteering badge.

Believe it or not, the young Scouts hoovered, brushes, scrubbed and cleaned all the surfaces in the building and the window cleaning was world class, and all before 10am, after, I am told, a late night!

By 1030am the team of volunteers were off for a walk around the historic village of Culross with black bags and litter pickers in hand to ‘do their bit’ to keep Culross beautiful.

Thank you to David & Jane of Cairneyhill Scouts for organising and volunteering their weekend to show the next generation the joys of volunteering within your community and the hard work that is required to improve community assets and tsking responsibility for keeping our surroundings clean and tidy.

I think the young Scouts enjoyed the luxury indoor camping experience and having a choice of electric dishwasher to choose from! The Stables Trustees thanked the team with fresh pizza for their volunteering efforts on behalf of the village of Culross.....And after such a hard shift, they will be welcomed back in the Summer 2025 to help with some painting jobs and to help with the allotment.
It is the start of a wonderful partnership.

And we’re off…………for the last time of the year too.😁😁😁

Poor whale washed up on the shore line just along from the flume. ☹️

Oh yes we are baby. 😁😁. The great dsy has finally come. Thursday Community Crust is indeed open again today. Now where’s my trumpet I’ll play it as you all waltz through the door.😍👍

Community. That is all.👍

Bert is not one to blow his own trumpet but he reckons these bad boys will be the best bread he has produced since being born. All being served with Betty’s Bangin’ Broth from noon till 5 pm. 👌🫡

No you’re not dreaming anymore. You’re now fully awake. Look in the mirror. There it is. Can you see that wee smirk on yer face because you know it’s Community Crust day? Hallelujah and “help ma boab”. Pick out some sporty shoes that will help you get here before anyone else. I’m keeping the soup variety as a surprise but I guarantee it will be tiptop. The bread is baking right now and the scones go in next. Food and below average banter from 12noon-5pm. Chair Yoga from 11am. Just walk, no running. 😁😁

Here till 6pm😁😁😁😁

Open now till 6pm. Free lunch. We’ll also be hosting the gala 50/50 draw live. There’s two draws to be done and each prize is over £600. It’s a tip top day to be alive and live in Culross😁😁
