Community Collaboration Update

In Thornhill Development Trust (TDT)

McLaren Community Futures (MCF) consists of the 10 community organisations covering the McLaren High School catchment area. this includes Thornhill Development Trust. MCF came together, in December 2024, with the hope of accessing sizeable grants to help communities respond to climate change now and in the future.

They are waiting on the outcome of a large funding application to help progress this work. It has been really encouraging to see what joining together with other communities has already started to do. That collaboration is helping strengthen our rural voices and we were delighted to see MCF featured in The Scotsman and other publications

Paths Group Monthly Maintenance

In Paths Group Updates

It’s time to make a start on our annual paths maintenance and improvements efforts.
We’ll aim to meet this Saturday 7th March at 10.00 at the rear of 59 Main Street (a.k.a the Paths Group Warehouse) and do a couple of hours. 

The Muir Dam walk needs particular attention, so the hardy folk may like to help with that and the rest start with maintenance around the village paths.  If wet, we can try for Sunday, same time and place. 

As a reminder, our normal pattern is to do a couple of hours of work on the first full weekend of each month in the season. Open to anyone who wants to volunteer a few hours to help maintain the lovely paths around our village.
Tools can be supplied, but come dressed in suitable clothes.
See you there!

In Light Up Thornhill

On Saturday 6th December, Thornhill is celebrating Light Up Thornhill 2025. Everyone is welcome to join the parade through the village to the sound of the pipes as those along main street switch on their lights to light the way to the community hall.

At the hall there will be music to a brass band, singing and a very special bearded guest to give out gifts once the children have decorated the tree.

Common Grounds Cafe will serve hot chocolate, mulled wine (including alcohol-free) and christmas bakes (gluten and dairy free available) which you can enjoy to the sounds of the harpist.

It will be a fun and special evening for everyone across the community to come together and celebrate the festive season.

Meet at the church hall from 5.45pm for the parade starting at 6pm arriving at the community hall from 6.15pm. It is a by donation event and light up wands will be available for sale. The cubs will help marshall the parade and will have a marshmallow pit outside the hall for an extra sweet treat.

Any one who would like to volunteer with set up, marshalling the parade, helping in the hall or tidying up please be in touch with Fiona Morison 07947319006. Come and enjoy the start to the sparkliest time of the year, everyone is welcome.

There is also the lovely village tradition of the annual advent windows, where households unveil their decorated window. The creativity is usually outstanding and makes it a wonderful village walk around on a frosty December evening.
