In times gone by, there was a putting green here (the covered pavillion at the foot of School Brae was where you would hire clubs and balls).

On a summers day, it is a lovely spot in which to enjoy a picnic. It is still a centre of activity on several occasions throughout the year - noteably after the naming of the Beltane Queen,  The Three Bridges Race and on Beltane Friday where participants in the towns' fancy dress parade gather beforehand for prize giving.
