The SCIO was formed to raise the necessary funds to purchase Kirkmaiden Old Parish Church from the Church of Scotland due to their disposing of buildings. In the last financial year we raised the necessary funds, £45,000 from pledges. Now in ownership of the building we intend to use it as a community space available to be used by the local community. We intend to have events such as concerts, arts and crafts events, talks. It can be used for weddings, funerals, naming ceremonies. We have a link with the local primary school for project works and education. It is widely visited by people looking for ancestors.
