One door closes and another opens, it is so sad to see Portknockie Library close after all these years, and while some of us have not been resident long, we would like to make mention of the tireless and helpful service offered by all past librarians. Once again the school is threatened with closure, probably by 2017, and we shall watch the Council proceedings over the forthcoming months. However, it’s lovely to see that Portknockie Chip Shop has once again found favour, and has opened its doors for our delight. Please make use of it together with all our other local shops, pubs and businesses, surely we owe it to their proprietors to do our utmost to keep them open...
