Welcome to Canonbie Community Enterprise (CCE)

Canonbie Community Enterprise is a group of like minded local people who have formed a community benefit society located in Canonbie, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. Our original mission was to save the only Shop and Post Office in our community, but since our only pub in the village has closed in November 2024 we are now looking at a community buy out of the Cross Keys Hotel in Canonbie also. 

 

By supporting us you will help with this important project by helping to maintain vital services and fostering local unity in the heart of Canonbie village.
