There seems to be so much going on in the village at the moment. It almost feels unfair to hassle you all some more. But … Could we please have RSVPs for the Nunraw Dinner by the end of this week please? The catering team need a firm idea of numbers before they start peeling spuds and boiling sprouts. (Okay, the sprouts are a joke …) Thanking-you!

History of Garvald
Why not take a look at our History of Garvald page? We’ve had lots of interest and several comments from people researching their family trees and wanting information on village residents from the past. Also, if anyone has old photos of Garvald, we’d love to put them in our Gallery. If you can help with either of these requests, please get in touch using the Contact Us form.
