The Gatehouse of Fleet Burns Club has scooped Stranraer’s Robyn Stapleton as the top-of-the-bill entertainment for its Annual Burns Supper in the Murray Arms Hotel on Friday 6^th February 2015. Not only was Robyn the 2014 Scottish Young Traditional Singer of the Year but she also recently won the coveted Dumfries and Galloway Life magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’ award which described her as having the ‘voice of an angel.’ The songs of Robert Burns are dear to her heart so those attending the Burns Supper are in for a real treat.

Gatehouse Development Initiative delighted to win a Scottish Rural Parliament Rural Innovator Award.

We would really like to find an old photograph or a drawing of the Cally Temple.

In the mid nineteenth century the factor at Cally did many water colour sketches within the woods at Cally and a hundred years ago William McMurray took a number of photographs of Cally but neither of them drew or photographed the Temple. 

Those from Gatehouse and District who Served in World War 1, compiled by Margaret Wright is a new 186 page book recording the people connected with Gatehouse of Fleet who served in the First World War.   The book accompanies the exhibition Gatehouse Folk in the Great War which will continue in the Mill on the Fleet Exhibition Centre till the end of October.

The Cally Temple project has won Heritage Lottery Fund support to conserve the historic eighteenth century Temple within Cally Woods at Gatehouse of Fleet and provide an education and information programme.

Events in Gatehouse connected with the photograph collection of William McMurray raised great interest when they were displayed in the Community Centre.
