Dunblane’s New Community Co:working Hub has Opened Its Doors

A flexible workspace for home and hybrid workers – right in the heart of town

Creative Dunblane is delighted to announce the official opening of the Dunblane Community Co:working Hub, offering a dynamic new workspace for local home-based and hybrid workers. Conveniently located in the historic Burgh Chambers in the town centre, the Hub provides a modern, friendly alternative to long commutes and the isolation of home working.

Designed with flexibility and community in mind, the Co:working Hub features:

  • Free Wi-Fi
  • 20 comfortable workstations
  • Flexible hot-desking options (half-day or full-day)
  • Affordable monthly subscriptions
  • Bookable meeting rooms
  • A relaxed, shared coffee room for informal chats and networking

"Building on the success of our Makerspace, we’ve spent the last few months preparing to open our Community Co:working Hub," says Steve Mason, Chair of Creative Dunblane. "We’ve secured a 10-year lease on the Burgh Chambers – a listed building that once housed the local Council offices. With support from various funders, we’ve been able to give this elegant building a new lease of life."

Just steps away from Dunblane Cathedral, independent cafés, and local shops, the Hub aims to energise the town centre and foster a sense of connection among professionals.

“Through projects like this, we aim to bring more people into the High Street and support the amazing local businesses we have here,” adds Elaine Hill, Trustee of Creative Dunblane and owner of a local pottery.

The Community Co:working Hub is now open and welcoming new members. Whether you're looking for a regular desk, a professional meeting space, or simply a change of scene, Dunblane’s newest workspace is ready for you.

If you are interested in having a tour of the Co:working Hub and/ or a free Taster Hot-desking session, email us on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. leave us your contact details and we will get back to you.

Stirling Council has now published a report summarising the findings of the Big Question survey regarding the future of the library service.  The report is attached below.

Active Travel Route from Causewayhead to Dunblane?

An Active Travel Route is for ‘walking, cycling or wheeling’.

Update from Flora Chirnside
Senior Active Travel Project Manager, Stirling Council
25 February 2025

Stirling Council is currently developing proposals for an active travel route connecting Dunblane to Causewayhead. This will be delivered in two phases:

   Phase 1: Bridge of Allan to Causewayhead

   Phase 2: Bridge of Allan to Dunblane

The concept designs for Phase 1 will be published for public consultation in spring 2025. At the same time, we will ask for the public’s views on how to develop the proposals for Phase 2.

Feasibility work on Phase 2 has been conducted to identify the most suitable route to improve Active Travel connections.

No final decision has been made on the proposals, and the purpose of the upcoming consultation is to hear the public’s views to inform the concept design.

The Sustainable Transport Team will work in partnership with the Council’s Lighting team to minimise any abortive works following the lighting upgrades currently underway.

Construction of Phase 1 is forecast to start in autumn 2025, subject to funding being secured from Transport Scotland and the City Region Deal. Construction of Phase 2 also relies on these external funders, as well as third party landowners, and at this early stage we are forecasting construction starts in autumn 2026.
