The Friends of Kinneil charity is dedicated to helping to promote and develop Kinneil Estate and Foreshore in Bo’ness. Anyone interested can join. We are led wholly by volunteers and in 2016 were proud to win a national Scottish Heritage Angel Award for our efforts.

There’s a small charge to cover our administrative costs. In return we’ll invite you to events and help you get involved in our work. Scroll to the bottom of the page to view annual report presentations to find out how the support of members – and the community – really matters.

The Friends of Kinneil are a charity registered with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. Read our entry on OSCR’s website.  Charity Registration Number: SC038368
