There are some shops, including a grocery which incorporates the Post Office and newsagent, a school, a bakery, a hairdresser, a restaurant, a hotel with a function suite and bar, the Commercial Inn and a widely known craft shop. In and around the Village is an extensive pattern of green paths which are kept cut by a group of volunteers, giving the village many and varied places to walk. Highlight of the village year is the Victorian Market, which takes place in early July. The Village Square is closed to traffic for 24 hours, allowing approximately 50 stalls to be set up. The common theme is that stall-holders must wear Victorian dress, their wares being very varied, anything from antiques to roast-boar can be found. In March and December, Craft Fairs are held, with crafts-people coming from all over Scotland to exhibit their goods. Many organisations and groups exist to enhance village life, the oldest of these being the Feuars Committee, which manages properties, held in trust for the people of the village. The Victorian market and the Christmas decorations, carol singing and visit by Santa are some of the activities that are organized and subsidized by the Feuars' Committee.
