The original village hall was built in the 1930's, and the current hall was built on the site of the old one and it was opened in July 1985. It was built at a cost in excess of £110,000. Funding for this was sought from the Highland and Islands Development Board (HIDB), the District Council and an interest free loan from a local estate (which was repaid within two years of the hall opening). Almost £20,000 was also raised locally through a variety of fund raising events and Donations.

The Hall Committee, comprising 15 members included in which are representatives of all groups using the Hall., stands for re-election annually and meets on a 3 monthly basis. Its task is to oversee the management and use of the hall on a day to day basis. It also runs various fund-raising functions and has a contingency fund which it draws on for the maintenance of the hall and in case of emergencies. The Hall is well used by a variety of local groups. It is also available for hire and provides basic accommodation for outside groups, provided there are no local bookings. The Committee runs dances and other fund raising events every year. Other local groups, also use the hall for dances and ceilidhs. And it is used by various other groups for meetings and other activities including the Primary School, the Luncheon Club, the Youth Club, for Badminton, Youth football coaching, and Scottish Country Dancing.

In 1999 the Hall installed with the help of a National Lottery grant of £7500 a new kitchen to help cater for an increasing demand from the Luncheon Club, Burns Supper, Ceilidhs and Conferences. Also in 1999 with the help of M.B.S.E. two showers have been installed, so the Hall is ideally equipped for overnight accommodation for outside groups such as Mountain Rescue Training. University Groups, or Walking Clubs etc.
