Development History
October 2009: External inspection finds the building appears to be reaonsably sound but to be disused.

18 June 2014: BARR is contacted by the Acting Group Scout Leader in Campbeltown, the gorup having recently re-opened. The Group is hoping to pursue restoration of the building to enable it to be used again as a Scout Hall.
5 December 2018: External inspection finds the building in much the same condition as seen previously. One window remains boarded.
