THE community on Knoydart continue to press forward with a crowdfunder as they bid to improve their dilapidated hall and increase its size in order to accommodate more acts and punters over the coming years.

Nominated in the Venue of the Year category at last year’s Trad Awards, the hall has hosted Fras, Sketch and Mairearad Green over the past year.

Knoydart Hall is more than just a music venue, however.

As the only wholly community-owned building on the peninsula, the hall is at the centre of life for those who live there all year round, hosting weddings, meetings and arts and music events.

The overall cost of the project will come in at £418,000, with three quarters of that amount coming from various grants.

The remaining £35,000 is the subject of the fundraiser and it is hoped that the building work will be completed in time for Hogmanay.
