The Society still owns buildings at the Cross which house the Dunblane Museum and some rented dwellings. Maintenance of these historic buildings is an ongoing commitment and constitutes a major part of the Society’s expenditure. A recent refurbishment, including a lime wash which has so markedly improved their appearance, cost over £65,000. For a small organisation, such an expense is a considerable drain on its resources.


You will appreciate from this that the work of the Society is not confi ned to the Cathedral; neither does it just help the Cathedral congregation. The maintenance of this attractive corner of Dunblane is of benefi t to all the residents of the town. It is for this reason that membership of the Society is open to all and the Society’s constitution specifi es that six of its Council Members must come from outwith the Cathedral congregation. Membership provides an opportunity to contribute to the Society’s work. In addition, Members receive an annual Journal containing articles relating to the Society, the Cathedral and other items of interest and can attend the Annual Festival in October.


Further information about the Society can be obtained from the Society’s page on the Cathedral website www.dunblanecathedral.org.uk. If you would like to support its work by becoming a member, an application form to join the Society can be downloaded or you can use the one included overleaf.
