  • Join our contemplative Sundown Service in the Harbour

    Sundown Services


    This year’s sundown services will take place on July 20th and Aug 17th at 6:30 pm in Dunure.


    We hope as usual to be down at the harbour with the sun setting in the background.

    If the weather is inclement (perish the thought) we will hold our service in Fisherton Church

    As always after a short service, we’ll have a wee cup of tea and then a sing song around the campfire.

    All ages .. all welcome!

    “Summer suns are glowing over land and sea;
    happy light is flowing, bountiful and free.
    Everything rejoices in the mellow rays;
    all earth’s thousand voices swell the psalm of praise.
    See God’s mercy streaming over all the world,
    and his banner gleaming, everywhere unfurled.
    Broad and deep and glorious as the heaven above,
    shines in might victorious his eternal love.”

  • Harbour Dredging

    Two days of dredging.

    Two hundred tons of sand and silt!

    In two days we successfully shifted 200 tons, clearing access to Dunure harbour for more vessels.

    Work will be ongoing until the end of the week, Thursday or possibly Friday.

    Thanks to our dedicated committee members whose countless hours of voluntary work make the progress around the harbour and the surrounding area possible.

    Thanks go to Barry McCrindle for the pictures,
    and the Harbour Committee for their dedication.

  • VE Day Beacon

    VE Day Beacon

    A beacon was lit tonight to mark the sacrifice of the service men and women of World War 2.

    Along with communities across the country Dunure lit a beacon in tribute to those who fought in WWII to stand up for the values of decency, respect and tolerance against fascism and intolerance.

    A large group of folk from the village gathered to pay their respects, led by a moving speech from Seonaid Fulton and a toast in memory of those who lost their lives, their loved ones, and their future.

    The question has been asked: why is there no war memorial in Dunure?

    The answer is surprising.

    Despite sending many brave souls to fight in both WW 1 and WW 2, no men from Dunure lost their lives in either war.

    For that we are grateful.

    It makes the sacrifice of those who did lose their lives even more poignant.

    Thanks to John Fulton and the Harbour Committee who organised the tribute, and to Elaine Lee for the picture.
