    The Army Cadet Hall is about half way up Princess Street.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

    Cadet hall in Halkirk is beside Sutherlands garage. The building by the park is only occasionally used.

    Thank you. I noticed the one by the garage tonight when I was walking around the village. Was wondering which hall was used for cadets.
    I'll take my son round tomorrow. Hope he will like it.

    Four years in the Army Cadets helped make me what I am today. The range of activities available to a kid that's willing to 'have a go' is incredible. Have a look at www.armycadets.com for more information. And I believe it's good for adults as well.

    Yep..my male offspring became an adult instructor on becoming too old for cadets more years ago now than I care to remember...and his life pretty well revolves around it.
