About Cultybraggan

Cultybraggan Camp is owned by Comrie Development Trust on behalf of the people of Comrie.

Cultybraggan Camp sits on 100 acres on the edge of Comrie in Perthshire. It has a remarkable history — one that is told in full at the Museum. Today it is a working community estate: businesses, guests, volunteers, events, and a heritage museum all sharing the same site.

Community ownership since 2007

In 2007 the community of Comrie came together to purchase Cultybraggan Camp, making it one of Scotland's largest community land buyouts. The camp is now owned by the people of Comrie and managed on their behalf by Comrie Development Trust.

The camp is a working place: businesses operate from its huts, volunteers maintain the orchard and grounds, school groups visit the museum, and guests stay in converted accommodation. Filming crews, event organisers, motorcycle rallies, and weddings have all used the site. All income generated supports the long-term stewardship of the camp and community projects across Comrie.

The Museum

The camp's heritage is preserved in the Cultybraggan Camp Museum, one of Scotland's best-preserved WWII prisoner of war sites. The museum is open to visitors throughout the year.

2007

The Community Buyout

In September 2007 the community of Comrie voted 97% in favour of purchasing Cultybraggan Camp from the Ministry of Defence for £350,000. It was one of Scotland's largest community land buyouts. The land belongs to the people of Comrie.
