Houston and Killellan Kirk Mens Shed

Houston and Killellan Kirk Mens Shed Shed members meet on a weekly basis to work on projects for themselves and the community.

The Shed offers an opportunity to learn new skills or brush up on old ones and there is always time for a cup of tea and a blether.

As many of you know, we have lots of talented members who come along each week to share their knowledge, skills, and talents with others at The Shed. We also undertake commissions for the community, and these are just two of our recent projects.

The first is a beautiful memorial bench, now placed in the community orchard in memory of a much-loved lady, Sue Campbell.

The second is a bagatelle game that had certainly seen better days. Years of wear, flaking woodwork, and damage had left its owner thinking it could never be restored. However, because it held so many treasured memories, our member Ian was delighted to bring it back to life once again.

The Shed is a lifeline — not only for our members, but also as a way of supporting and giving back to our wider community.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

What a fantastic day at the Houston & Killellan Kirk Carnival Parade on Saturday!

Alongside many other amazing groups and organisations, we had the pleasure of taking part in this year’s parade, with the theme being the Commonwealth. Our group proudly represented Team Scotland!

A huge thank you to everyone involved for inviting us to participate, and to everyone who stopped by our stall for a chat and to show their support throughout the day.

Another successful project completed by Allan D and his team for Rhonda, and by Kenn for Houston Primary School — well done to everyone involved for all the hard work behind the scenes.

Thank you also to our official team photographer, Andy Stark for capturing these wonderful images.

Once again, thank you all for your continued support. It is always greatly appreciated!

We have lots to share from the Shed this week 😊

Firstly, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Ham family for their generous donation following the passing of their father, Mr Bill Ham, in the summer of 2025. Bill was a valued member of the Shed and a keen photographer. Many of our members will treasure his photograph book featuring beautiful scenes from Houston.

We are also incredibly grateful to John McCulloch for his extremely generous donation of tools to the Shed. These will be put to great use in our new workshop — thank you so much, John!

In other news, one of our members, Bob J, has been hard at work building three raised beds for Morar Care Home. We look forward to sharing more photos once they have been planted up.

If you're passing by on a Wednesday morning, you might hear some music coming from the Shed! A number of our members enjoy a regular jam session, and we’d love to welcome anyone who plays an instrument and would like to join in.

Finally, we currently have a picnic bench available for a suggested donation of £100. If you are interested, please send us a private message for more details.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

We are deeply saddened to share the news that our dear friend and fellow Shed member, David MacDonald, passed away yesterday.

David was a valued and much-loved part of our community. He threw himself wholeheartedly into everything the Shed stood for — from taking part in activities to serving on the committee with dedication and care. His skill as a carpenter and craftsman was second to none, and his knowledge, guidance, and willingness to help made him our first port of call whenever advice was needed.

More than his talents, David will be remembered as a true gentleman and a good friend to us all. His presence, kindness, and quiet wisdom will be greatly missed around the Shed. Our thoughts and prayers are with David's family at this time.

Rest in peace, David. You leave behind a space that cannot be filled, and memories that will stay with us always.

A few of our members recently had the pleasure of attending a coffee morning at St Vincent’s Hospice ☕️

It was such an inspiring and rewarding experience, and a great opportunity to connect with others in the community. We’re grateful to have been part of it.

The April schedule of events at the Hub is now available, so keep an eye out and get involved!

Work is also continuing at our new workspace, and we’d like to say a big thank you to Ryan at RS Security Systems for kindly donating his time and carrying out work for us installing a new alarm and security system for free — it is very much appreciated.

Lots happening and plenty more to come!

What a beautiful spring day we had yesterday at the Shed! 🌸☀️

We split into two groups, with one team meeting at our new workshop space and the other at the hall. It was great to welcome Frances, along with Calvin and Patrick from Corseford College — the boys were a huge help setting up and getting stuck into some small projects. 👏

We’ve also had a recent commission to make stands for displaying tapestries. One is already complete, and just another 8 to go — watch this space!

A big thank you as well to everyone who came along and supported us by buying the bunnies. We really appreciate it! 💛

It’s been a busy couple of weeks for us at the Shed!

Last week, we celebrated Jack’s birthday and welcomed Andy, along with Patrick and Lewis from Corseford College. Patrick and Lewis helped us decorate our Easter bunnies, which will be going on sale over the next couple of weeks — keep an eye out for more information about our upcoming pop-up shops!

This week, we celebrated Norman’s 70th birthday. We had lots of delicious cakes to mark the occasion. Meanwhile, some of the team have been down at the new workshop, working hard to refit the space for us.
