Who we are
Craigievar Hall has been at the heart of this scattered rural community for over 100 years. Built in 1909, it is one of only a few tin tabernacle halls. Originally owned by William Forbes-Sempill, 10th Baronet of Craigievar & the 19th Lord Sempill, it was transferred to the community following his death in 1965. Today the hall is managed by the Trustees of Craigievar Community and Hall Association. The purpose of the Association is
