Drill Hall Scotland

We are full for 2023, looking for help in 2024, We have been hosting volunteers for 12 years and it has enriched our life. We have our global family and often are revisited, share in their life and meet their families, children and partners. We offer cultural exchange and family life. Our town is vibrant yet in a few minutes there are many stunning countryside walks and hills, rivers to explore. We are are on public transport route and you can easily visit Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

We are family, we work together, dine together and share our life stories, we have welcomed visits from parents, siblings and friends of our volunteers.. We are flexible and often our volunteers will take a few days off and go travelling. We can accommodate all diets. We are not vegetarian but often our volunteers are, but we are happy to accommodate. We learn all the time.

It was a really great experience that allowed us to improve our English and visit the beautiful Scottish landscapes .
Catrina and Gordon are very kind and since from the start they made us fell welcomed.
The work hours were respected and the tasks were easy.
Catrina is an excellent cook and she always gave us tips for our trips, and Gordon is really friendly and a smiling person.
We had the opportunity to try the typical local food and also to cook for them our typical Italian dishes.
The have two funny and sweet dogs we fell in love with.

It was an incredible experience, Catrina is a fantastic cook and Gordon knows how to talk about everything, they are very good-natured! We learned a lot about the culture of Scotland and they gave us lots of tips on places to go! The tasks and accommodation are excellent. The real spirit of volunteering lives in this place, they cared all the time about our experience! We're going to miss this place, especially Leo and Jacob!

My experience was simply amazing. Catrina and Gordon are a really fun couple, always ready to chat and teach you new things. The working hours were respected and the work itself wasn’t too hard. Catrina is really caring as well as an amazing cook. She also will give you some amazing tips on what to see all over Scotland. The place is beautiful and you have the opportunity to visit the surroundings (like Stirling and Edinburgh). Also they have two beautiful dogs that are absolutely the cutest. Thanks for the experience! :)
