A Fresh Look for Kingswells
The new Kingswells website introduces a refreshed colour palette to reflect both the natural beauty and the evolving identity of our community. While the old site used orange as a dominant colour, we’ve chosen a warmer, more grounded direction that feels closer to home.
Gorse yellow now plays a leading role—a nod to the vibrant gorse that blooms around Kingswells in spring and summer. It’s a colour rooted in the local landscape, symbolising warmth, resilience, and a connection to nature. Paired with soft lilac and natural drystone consumption dyke tones, the new palette feels open, welcoming, and distinctly local—just like Kingswells itself.
This update isn’t just a visual change—it’s a small reflection of how our village continues to grow while staying true to its surroundings.
The Old Cockerel Has Finally Retired…
The old cockerel has finally retired—poor guy had his day (and lost his pecker, apparently). So, we thought it was time for a fresh start! Our new display picture now captures the true spirit of Kingswells—less cluck, more charm.
Our delightful new Kingswells Facebook Page logo reflects the character of the village, showcasing the distinctive white rendering and reddish-orange brick homes that are a familiar sight in the area. While we know not every house looks exactly like this, the design celebrates the overall feel of the community. It’s surrounded by vibrant yellow gorse—common throughout Kingswells—alongside the stone dyke wall and forest trees, echoing the local walks. The yellow, purple and grey tones are thoughtfully aligned with our Kingswells website.
