Dog owners
If you live in our village or are a welcome visitor, please be considerate.
Dunure is a fantastic place to live and visit.
A large part of that is the pride we take in our village and the unspoiled nature which surrounds us.
Dog owners can contribute to that by responsible caring for their pet, its needs, and the needs of everyone else.
You’ll find water bowls for your dog on a hot day down by the harbour at the Harbourside Cafe, and other places around the village.
Please take the needs of others into consideration though, and be mindful of the responsibilities set out by the PDSA.
There’s a useful summary in this leaflet.

Harbour Dredging
Two days of dredging.
Two hundred tons of sand and silt!
In two days we successfully shifted 200 tons, clearing access to Dunure harbour for more vessels.
Work will be ongoing until the end of the week, Thursday or possibly Friday.
Thanks to our dedicated committee members whose countless hours of voluntary work make the progress around the harbour and the surrounding area possible.
Thanks go to Barry McCrindle for the pictures,
and the Harbour Committee for their dedication. -

VE Day Beacon
A beacon was lit tonight to mark the sacrifice of the service men and women of World War 2.
Along with communities across the country Dunure lit a beacon in tribute to those who fought in WWII to stand up for the values of decency, respect and tolerance against fascism and intolerance.
A large group of folk from the village gathered to pay their respects, led by a moving speech from Seonaid Fulton and a toast in memory of those who lost their lives, their loved ones, and their future.
The question has been asked: why is there no war memorial in Dunure?
The answer is surprising.
Despite sending many brave souls to fight in both WW 1 and WW 2, no men from Dunure lost their lives in either war.
For that we are grateful.
It makes the sacrifice of those who did lose their lives even more poignant.Thanks to John Fulton and the Harbour Committee who organised the tribute, and to Elaine Lee for the picture.

Doonfoot Lights
I’m definitely not excusing this –
But I am explaining it.
The sequencing of the new lights at the end of Doonholm Rd is crazy – I count a 5 second ‘green’ for traffic turning towards Doonfoot before the lights change back to amber.
So beware of cars going through on red – because they will due to frustration.Like I say, I’m not excusing it, but it is a danger which I’ll highlight to the AMEY on 0800 0420188.
Take care and drive safe!
