Scalpay Community Hall

The Scalpay Village HallThe Scalpay Village Hall, which was built as a temporary structure in the early 1960's, was knocked down in 1990 to make way for a new community facility. The hall was bought by the community in October 1968 from the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) for the sum of £600.

Story behind the Management of the Old Scalpay Village Hall

The Scalpay Village Hall was built as a temporary structure in the early 1960's and was managed, on behalf of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS), by three local community Trustees. These positions were granted to the School Headteacher, Grazings Committee Clerk and District Welfare Officer and their respective successors, and they were responsible for the hire of the building under a lease agreement with the NCSS. The day-to-day affairs of the hall were looked after by a Management Committee.

In October 1968 the NCSS indicated that they were willing to sell the building to the Management Committee of the Village Hall for the sum of £600. After a series of public meetings the Committee decided to accept their offer, and immediately a campaign was launched to raise funds on the Island. In a short time the community were successful in raising £250 through a number of fund-raising activities, which in turn attracted a grant of £350 from the Education Department of Inverness County Council. To conclude the legal formalities, documents in the form of a feu charter and Deed of Trust were drawn up and registered. Confirmation of outright ownership was received in writing from Anderson, MacArthur & Co. Solicitors, Stornoway, on 12 February 1969.
