It was established in 2001 for the benefit of residents, visitors and our friends around the world who are interested our village.

Grantshouse may be a small village - approximately 200 residents - but is a thriving rural community and certainly lives up to it's description, 'The tiny village with a big heart and a warm welcome!'' Visitors and incomers are always welcomed and encouraged to join in our village activities.

As the web site is frequently updated, information is usually added rather than removed, so as time went by it became necessary to consign some pages to an archive section. 

Although this made it easier to browse the site, it also increased costs and the space needed on our server. 

As a result, in 2006, the web site was completely re-vamped and the archived pages removed. Now the site is regularly updated, almost on a daily basis!

Message Board - We have a message board where interesting topics concerning the village and it's history can be discussed and messages drawing attention to village events and new additions to the web site are displayed and we can also be followed on Twitter. 

The Content and Costs - The Grantshouse Community Council pays for the domain name registration and hosting fees and the web site is designed and maintained voluntarily, by the webmaster, Jane Barribal, a local resident. If you have any ideas that might improve the content or would like something included, please contact Jane.

Advertising - Page advertising is sometimes supplied by Google to offset a little of the maintenance costs and those in local business may have a page on the web free of charge (including updates) to advertise their products or services. If you would like to be included, please - Contact Jane

We hope you will enjoy browsing this web site and all we ask of you is - 'Haste ye back!'
