Cultybraggan Camp, World War II prisoner camp in Comrie, Scotland.
Description
Cultybraggan Camp is a former prisoner-of-war facility with over 80 Nissen huts divided into four sections nestled beneath the Aberuchill Hills. The grounds contain pathways and information boards that help visitors understand the layout and structure of the former camp.
History
The camp was built in 1941 and initially held Italian prisoners before becoming a maximum-security facility for German soldiers. After the war it served as a defense installation, reflecting different phases of British military use.
Culture
Prisoners organized musical performances and language classes that shaped daily life in the camp, with evidence of these activities still visible in the buildings today.
Practical
The grounds are open year-round to visitors, with a museum operating from April to October and accessible pathways throughout. Wear sturdy shoes as the terrain can be uneven and Scottish weather can change quickly.
Did you know?
The site preserves training facilities from the war period including a rifle range and assault courses that reveal how the camp was organized. A nuclear bunker from the Cold War era shows the location remained militarily important long after the war ended.
