Kilmory (Scottish Gaelic: Cill Mhoire) is a tiny village on the south coast of the Isle of Arran, located on the coastal road between Lagg and Kildonan. Kilmory is also the parish of the western side of the Isle of Arran.[1]
History
Southwest of the village are the Kilmory Cairns (including Torrylin Cairn), a set of Neolithic chambered cairns in which skeletal remains and a flint knife were found.[2][3]
Geography
Kilmory is situated on the southern coast of the Isle of Arran. Many islanders visit Kilmory on a regular basis to take in the stunning natural beauty of the area, including the unspoilt and lengthy beach.
Community
The village itself is no more than a few houses, a shop, a church[4] and a Post Office. At the East end of the village is the Torrylinn creamery, which produces Arran Dunlop,[5] the silver medal winner in the British Cheese Awards 2002.
In early 2007, the village suffered a devastating loss of amenities, with the village shop, tearoom and public bar all closing. The Post Office was relocated to the Public Hall and is open there from 10am to 2pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.[6] The village post box has also been relocated to the public hall car park.
To address the problem of no longer having a local public bar the village established a social club, the 1934 Club, based at the public hall. This opened in the spring of 2013.[7] Full membership is open to residents and those who work in the district, associate membership is available to anyone sponsored by two existing members, and temporary membership is available to anyone wishing to avail themselves of the facilities.
