SPCT ASSETS
SPCT manage a number of assets for the benefit of the community
STRATHPEFFER PAVILION
The Pavilion has been at the heart of the community since it was commissioned in 1881 by the Countess of Cromartie. This iconic building was fully restored in 2004, enabling it to re-open as a venue for concerts, weddings and other events.
PUMP HOUSE
The Pump House was built in 1909 to replace the earlier Upper Pump Room and provide the Spa medical and health functions. SPCT acquired the building from Highland Council in 2020 and are developing plans to bring it back into use.
GARDENS
The Spa Gardens adjacent to the Pavilion are a Designated Landscape. Their transfer to SPCT from the Highland Council has enabled us to put a garden management plan in place. The first phase of this has seen volunteers from our Garden Group make improvements to the grounds and we aim to complete a full restoration in the future.
TENNIS COURTS
The tennis courts are managed by the Dingwall and Strathpeffer Tennis Club and open to the village.
