Village Green
GURCA owns and maintains the main village green. The green can be used for occasional events (such as the Market on the Green and Highland dancing displays) but due to its location close to shops and residential properties, the types of event that can take place here are limited. Please contact our secretary for further information.
Glenurquhart Public Hall (also known locally as Blairbeg Hall)
The hall is very well used, by clubs, societies and individuals, for a variety of meetings, sporting and leisure activities. For further information visit the hall website here.
Loch Ness Hub
GURCA purchased the building in the village car park from Highland Council through a Community Asset transfer in 2021. This is now called the Loch Ness Hub. GURCA leases this building to the Community Benefit Company, Loch Ness hub who operate it as a tourism and transport hub and also manage the public toilets. GURCA is the anchor shareholder in the Loch Ness Hub company. Loch Ness Hub pays rent to GURCA and additional excess profits from Loch Ness Hub come back to GURCA for community projects.
John Cobb Memorial
Located to the south of Drumandrochit on the A82, this memorial was erected by the Community and is now maintained by GURCA.
Blairbeg Community Woodlands (due to complete Summer 2023)
