Welcome to our official group. We are normally known as Whiting Bay Memories, but our districts are included in the official group title and especially in our memories.
You may know us better from previous activities in the village.

This popular group now has over one thousand members! members are invited to contribute their pictures, ask questions, share their memories and enjoy lots of interaction.
To advance the group, the organisers decided to formalise it, and allow our contributed items to be made more accessible to all. Also to allow a more indepth look at the village, to compliment our facebook group and deliver some of our benefits on a more regular basis. In summary we decided not to leave our memories in boxes for a couple of years! Now we look forward to sharing more memories with you through this site.
In March 2019 we constituted our group, with the following objects;
Object:
The object of the group shall be to advance the education of the local community and interested general public in the history and social history of the village of Whiting Bay and it’s Districts on the Isle of Arran (KA27)
To preserve the village heritage by the collection and compilation of writings, memories, memorabilia, photographs, records, items, artefacts and writings of local historic interest and to preserve, protect and retain the articles for community use and enjoyment.
Welcome to Whiting Bay Memories. This is the first post to our new website. We are very excited about building this site and hope you will enjoy it for years to come. Over the past few years the memories group have been donated many pictures, stories, video footage, memories and documents. The collection is far too enjoyable to remain in boxes and is not always suitable for our wonderful facebook group. Here we will offer some articles with a longer read. Share some of our special exhibitions from our past events, and always add new items when we can. Remembering we are a holiday island and village, you can expect to see more during the winter months though.
