Cultybraggan Camp motorhome aire at the last remaining WW2 POW camp in Scotland! “Situated just a mile outside the picturesque village of Comrie, Perthshire, Cultybraggan Camp can be found nestling beneath the rugged Aberuchill Hills and alongside the Water of Ruchill. A peaceful location with a vibrant story. History - It was constructed during the Second World War to house up to 4000 prisoners, first Italian and then German PoWs. Named PoW Camp 21, it had a notoriously hard reputation, housing dozens of SS officers, members of the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe & Marine Corps among others. In 1948, it became a Ministry of Defence training camp. Thousands of personnel in the regular, territorial and cadet forces passed through its doors until its closure in 2004. Three years later, the camp with its 80+ Nissen huts and the hillground to the south was purchased… by the village of Comrie and now run by the Comrie Development Trust: The camp is now a thriving multi-use community resource run by Comrie Development Trust (CDT). Numerous businesses operate and many community groups benefit from the site. In addition, 40 full-size allotments have been created, as have the Community Orchard and the Community Woodland.” More info on website including opening times for the museum and cafe!
