Cultybraggan Camp — Local services in Scotland

The drive to cultybraggan has some stunning scenery. As you arrive all you can see are huts. The car park isn't the biggest but they use the playing field as an overflow. The museum is not very big but it has lots to see and do. From dressing up in soldiers/helicopter pilots uniform. To trying to work a Morse code machine. The pictures on the walls are done by pow and there letters that they wrote as well. There is the story of two people that were murdered at the camp. Most of the huts have new purposes as small independent business. Some have been made in to sleep accommodation that can be let out. There is a wee wood craft centre and Jim that runs, it lets kids or adults have a try at building small animals out of wood from scratch.

A visit to this attraction I really for people who are likely to be interested this period of history. I really enjoyed my visit to...

This is a largely intact PoW camp from WW2 that is now owned by the local community through a trust. Many of the Nissan Huts are used for commercial purposes such as small businesses and even self catering rentals however one houses a museum and another a cafe. We called in on spec on a Sunday with no expectations and were initially underwhelmed however on locating the museum and meeting Tommo, an ex-military volunteer guide, we quickly fell under the spell of the place. I won’t spoil it for you, only to suggest that this place may well tell us more about the war than any history lesson or Hollywood epic. The stories are moving and engaging. We loved it, even with its rough edges, it is a gem of a place that fills a gap in our understanding of the war that few of us knew existed. Unbelievably it is free, although a £5 donation is suggested if affordable. Do visit if passing...
