Community activists in Killin are hoping individuals and organisations will galvanise behind their efforts to get a much anticipated £175,000 pump track project over the line.

Killin Sports and Recreation Hub, established in 2022, are working alongside the Killin and Ardeonaig Community Development Trust (KAT) and Killin Community Council (KCC) to raise funds in order to complete the project.

The track is expected to be not only a popular facility for locals, but could also draw visitors and biking enthusiasts from much further afield.

Chris Kane, MP for Stirling and Strathallan, has committed his support.

The Hub was set up with the aims of regenerating sports and recreation infrastructure and social inclusion within the Killin area. It recently received a vote of congratulations from Stirling Council for its work regenerating Killin's tennis courts/MUGA pitch and marking 70km of local trails.
