When the current Gatehouse Primary School was opened in 1979 the old school building was offered for the nominal sum of £10 to the people of Gatehouse to be used as a Community Centre. The building had been valued at £40,000, so the Regional Council included a penalty clause in case the Community Centre was closed within 10 years of its inauguration. The building now belongs to the people of Gatehouse.
Community Centre in early 2010 in a run-down state.
Community Centre in late 2010.
Renovations included air-to-air heating system, solar panels, new windows, internal and external painting, re-fitting the toilet rooms as a result of previous burst water pipes, insulation of the roof space, new curtains and many other modifications.
