Boarhills Doocot & Village Hall
East Fife
Boarhills Doocot was acquired by Boarhills and Dunino Community Trust as part of a project to create a village green space. The purchase was assisted by a grant from the Scottish Land Fund. It is a typical Fife lectern style doocot and is thought to date to the 17th century, but was in a ruinous condition, and after a period of fund raising, work started on its restoration in autumn 2022. Financial assistance was received from Fife Environment Trust, St Andrews Community Trust and St Andrews Heritage Trust. The work was completed in June 2023.
There will be an exhibition in the Village Hall on the restoration project and there will also be displays exploring the history of Boarhills and Dunino Primary Schools. Archive material on the schools will be on show and former pupils are asked to bring old photographs and other material they may have to share and reminisce. This will help build on our archive of local history, with the aim of making it more accessible.
Teas and delicious cakes will be served in the Hall, and there will be a children's painting competition, ‘Spot the Pigeon’.
