In the 19th century the village was described as self-sufficient with a mill, school, shop, smithy and railway station. Many of these village facilities have now closed although both Maxwell Memorial Hall and the Primary School remain open. The memorial hall offers an annual programme of events and activities and can be hired for private functions and recreational activities such as the regular yoga classes. The Hall is also used by Kirkgunzeon primary school and their school ‘cluster’ partners of Palnackie and Colvend.
