Went there in 1978 as an army cadet. The assault course, which I was looking forward too, was just a ditch to jump and a wall to climb over, the instructors said someone always falls in the ditch which seemed strange because you could easily jump the widest part. We all done the course and no one fell in the ditch. Cadet Newton said to the instructors “ha ha, no one fell in” and they grabbed him and flung him in the ditch.
A German POW died a few years back and left approximately 300k to the senior inhabitants of Comrie ( village next to camp) He had been treated so very well by the villagers and turned away from Fascism.
Spent a weekend there in December 1967 on detachment from RAF Tangmere when part of 38 Group Support Unit (LRCF). Bitterly cold Nissen huts. I do remember visiting Comrie where the chip shop had a coal-fired range
Hi. I’m the Chairman of the board of CDT who look after Cultybraggan on behalf of the community. We would like to use drone footage for promotion and a crowdfunding campaign. Could we discuss this with you? I couldn’t find an email address for you. Thanks. Mark Temple.

Stayed here a few times with the Air Cadets in the mid 90s, great memories and glad it's still standing. Thanks for the video!
My pleasure. A very interesting place that I wasn't aware of until around 2 years ago.
Spent some great times there when I was in the Army Cadets as a youngster. That was our summer holiday back then, back in the sixties.😊
I stayed there in the early 1990s with the Army Cadet Force.

So glad this site was and continues to be preserved. A glimpse of Scottish history some might not know about or even expect.
Thx for sharing
My pleasure.
What an interesting place that i didnt know existed. Thanks for your excellent video showing this important historical place. 😊👍
My pleasure.
Cultybraggan is an amazing site and I'm so glad it was saved, especially with all it's history. Great footage as always.
Is this place open to the public? I've never even heard of it until now ..I would love to see this in person
@davidmacmillan7322 yes, you can wander round as there are various businesses there. There's also a hut with the history of the camp.
Thank you.
@@scotlandshistory thank you so much.
