 The Estate Team augmented by co-workers, residents, volunteers were involved in a massive clear up after the great storm on Thursday, December 8th..

In all, we lost around 60 mature trees.

Humour in the aftermath of the storm. 5mph speed limit!

Our main drive was blocked and power supplies were down for a couple of days. A further storm a few days later rooted out some more trees.

Happily,no injuries and no real structural damage done to the fabric of any buildings.

Footnote on storms: Late January 2012

Corbenic has experienced yet another big storm in early January. Sadly,we lost a few more trees weakened by the previous high winds. Clearing up has been a major task for the estate team which has performed minor miracles in keeping all the tracks clear and bringing order back from the chaos caused by this extraordinary spell of wild weather.

Website Upgrade
With the help of Abertay University, our rather technologically ageing website will be getting an overhaul, upgrade and redesign during 2012! Roll on!

Storm Windfall for Corbenic

It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good..

The storms of December 2011 and 2012 will live long in our memory. But at least we will have a good supply of fuel for our wood-burning stoves for months to come...

Befriending at Corbenic Camphill Community

'Befriending at Corbenic has been a wonderful experience that was very enriching.  I really enjoyed the time I spent getting to know everyone and they all have a special place in my heart.  Everyone was very welcoming and I would recommend it thoroughly to anyone'.
