A beautiful place to live, with a fascinating past.
Works to create an underground burn to direct floodwater from the village into the River Forth will begin at the end of September.
Work is expected to conclude in early 2025.

We’re having an end of summer village tidy on Saturday 14th September from 10.30am – 12.30pm. There’s jobs for all abilities and there will be cake!
If you can’t make it along but want to help, drop an email to dunmorevillage@gmail.com, or chat to a member of the village committee.
We had a wonderful Tea on the Green! The weather cleared up (even if it was a bit windy) and we enjoyed great music, company and incredible home baking.
Tea on the Green is a chance for neighbours and friends to come together, but it’s also a chance to raise money for the various village maintenance projects. We’re pleased to report that between the baking, tombola, treasure hunt, games and generous donations we raised £1200! Thanks to all who attended and showed their support
A huge amount of work goes in to make these two hours special and Dunmore villagers – especially the Gardening Club – deserve a big pat on the back. The Dunmore Village Committee would like to thank everyone who gave their time, energy and resources, including Ian Guthrie, our brilliant musician, Jim Tait and Joe Detlaff for the loan and delivery of the chairs and tables, and to David and the Sea Cadets for the use of their gazebos.
Help us get the village green looking its very best for Tea on the Green on Sunday 18th August.
We’ll be at it from 10.30am – 12.30pm on Saturday 10th August, drop in when you can. There’s jobs for all abilities.
If you can’t make it along but want to help, drop an email to dunmorevillage@gmail.com, or chat to a member of the village committee.
We’re looking forward to a day of music, fabulous baking, games and great chat at Tea on the Green on Sunday 18th August. All welcome! If you live nearby, or enjoying visiting the village, you’ll be made very welcome.
The event is free, but bring your change for the games and cake (we will have a card machine too).
The village was awarded a grant by Falkirk Council and Repollinate to improve the quality of our flower beds to make them more friendly to pollinating insects.
The beds were planted last year by the gardening club and, since then, they’ve kept on top of the weeds and the watering to give the immature perennials and shrubs room to grow. The beds look fabulous now, so well done everyone!
The Village action day on 18th May went well. On Saturday (and over the last few months) many villagers have been working hard to keep Dummore looking good. From weeding and clearing dead foliage, to painting benches, iron work and notice boards. Fantastic work, everyone!
Our new defibrilator has been installed on the front of the bowling hut and we’ve been very fortunate that Martin from Forth Valley First Responders has been providing training to all interested villagers. The debrilator will be maintained and regularly check by the Responders.
Be part of your community and pitch in to help with basic maintenance and gardening. You’ll be rewarded with hot drinks and homemade cake.
Meet at Lillian’s garden at 10.30am.
Can’t make it on Saturday? Pop an email to dunmorevillage@gmail.com or to the village WhatsApp group to find out how you can help.
The committee are hoping to run more social events throughout the year and hope this will bring everyone together through the year.
If any villagers have a suggestion for an event please let the committee know.
Following many months of the village association negotiating with Falkirk Council rotten sycamore tree has been removed by professional tree surgeons. A team of villagers have chopped the wood into smaller, more portable pieces and much of it will be left in the garden as a home for nature. A Rowan tree will be planted in its place later in the year.
The annual general meeting of Dunmore Village Association is on Thursday 28th March 2024 at 7pm in Dunmore Bowling Clubhouse.
The AGM is an opportunity to catch up with neighbours and hear what’s been going on in the village. It’s also a great opportunity to hear the committees future plans and have your say.
Please note the committee is always pleased to welcome new members – if you are interested in joining the committee or getting active in the village please email dunmorevillage@gmail.com.
Accounts for the year have emailed to all villagers and posted on the village notice board. If you haven’t received an email, please drop a message to the email address above.
We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas carols event on Sunday 17th December, and received a special visit from a certain jolly gentleman who had presents for all the village children.
We raised more than £230, which will go towards village maintance projects and to Strathcarron Hospice.
Thank you!
This event wouldn’t have been such a success without the support of everyone who attended and donated. Huge thanks also go to:
Clackmannan District Brass Band for braving the chilly weather to raise our spirits.
Village committee members/villagers who decorated, catered and organised the event.
And, finally, Geoff Leask, who “arranged” the visit from our special seasonal visitor!
Thursday 14 December is the closing date for neighbour comments on the propsed Hill of Airth development, which would see the construction of 82 houses and a visitor centre near the East Lodge to the north of Airth. This is the second attempt to green light this project, following objections from local people and stakeholders such as the National Trust for Scotland.
Make your comments on the Falkirk Council development portal.
Airth Parish Community Council are hosting a public meeting about the application at Airth Venue, 7pm, on Wednesday 20 December, following their short general meeting at 6.30pm.
Following Falkirk Council’s decision to no longer support festive lights in Dunmore, the Village Association has replaced the exisiting failing lights. Hooray! It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
After having to cancel in 2022 due to the very cold weather, we’re looking forward to getting back together and singing in the season. We’ll be joined once again by the Clackmannanshire District Brass Band and will be collecting for charity.
Come for the carols and stay for the Christmas treats and hot drinks afterwards!
Tea on the Green was a great success. We enjoyed fabulous home baking, live music and good chat under the sun… and some of us got quite competitive over the games. 
Huge thanks to everyone who came along, baked and donated and to musician Iain Guthrie. We raised over £700 for the village maintenance fund!
Well done to the Village committee for organising.
We’ve just been alerted to the visit of MSP Michelle Thomson to the Village today, 2.15-3pm.
Join us on Sunday 20th August for cakes, games and great chat. Please bring your change – all games and cake sales will go towards the village maintenance fund.
A mixture of elbow grease and persistence from Dunmore Village Association has resulted in some small improvements to village amenities.
DVA’s Colin sanded and repainted the flaky bench at the well and villagers have been keeping the beds planted earlier this year weed free while the plants get established – it needs more work than you’d think!
The Association has also compiled a list of of issues with public spaces and have been contacting Falkirk Council. The bus shelter has finally been cleaned for the first time in several years and the swings at the play park are in the process of being treated for painting. Hopefully they’ll be finished in time for Tea on the Green next week!
