Skateraw Hall

The attractive, cosy hall has all the facilities you would need for up to 114 people.

Dating back to the late 1800s, the Skateraw Hall is available to villagers to rent for meetings, village groups, fund-raising events, social functions and more. In Skateraw (now Newtonhill) in the 1880s, there were 60 fishermen going out to sea in little boats, and over 150 employed in other fish-related activity. The fish houses were along the top of the cliffs, and the wives had to carry their h

eavy creels up the steep path, and once a week walk the 12 miles to The Green in Aberdeen to sell their smokies. Back in 1890, the Laird provided a meeting place and reading rooms for the fisherfolk of Skateraw. This was the "Skateraw Hall"; pine-lined as homes and bothies were in those days, and run by a management committee of villagers as is still the case today.

What a successful Tipsy Tea Skateraw Hall had last Saturday. Many thanks to Thelma for all the work and effort she put in to organising this event, especially the scones, strawberries, cream and meringues they were absolutely delicious. Thanks also to all who helped set up the Hall so lovely, for all the donations of sandwiches, cakes, items for the raffle and to Roseanne for donations to the auction. A net total of £1,280.00 was raised and the Trustees thank each and everyone who came along and supported the event.

THE SKATERAW HALL IS OPEN AGAIN AND READY TO WELCOME NEW BOOKINGS!

Thanks to a generous grant from SUEZ Landfill Communities Fund, the floor has been completely lifted, and joists, damp-proof course and floorboards fitted.
In addition, the Kincardine and Mearns Area Committee awarded us a top-up grant so we could pay for staining and sealing the floor and having smart new vinyl laid in the kitchen.
So, the hall is looking great and hopefully ready to last another 130 years!
It's the ideal venue for small gatherings, with very reasonable rental charges. With a good strong floor, we can now accommodate parties (with dancing!) and children's play equipment once more.

For more information about bookings, please contact Elma Wylie on:
