Kippen Heritage
Kippen Heritage, a registered charity, is an open community group of volunteers who share an interest in the history of Kippen and in the preservation of its heritage. That includes the historic buildings and places, as well as the archive of material gathered over the years from many village sources. These include photographs, some very old, and the history contained in the records of clubs and societies, schools and village traditions, and even burials in the old Kirkyard. Our website is still under development, and this homepage provides our contact details. Should you wish to offer material that you might have, or if you have an enquiry about your family history, or if you want to support us by volunteering some of your time then we would delighted to hear from you.
