CrossFit^® Cultybraggan

Positive experience: A bit disappointing

Positive experience: It was a very interesting place shame on everything inside was closed.

Fantastic experience: Just visited the museum. It was fascinating.

Fantastic experience: We went to cultybraggan out of boredom and the staff there are really nice and willing to speak about anything

Positive experience: Well preserved WW2 PoW Camp in excellent condition which is owned and maintained by local people. Some buildings have been repurchased for industrial use and accommodation. Well worth seeking out if you are interested in modern history / WW2 / Military History.

Fantastic experience: Great place with a good history. Very informative team member on my visit. Great to chat and remember my own experiences.

Fantastic experience: Cultybraggan camp is worth a visit if you are passing by , the museum and cafe is run by knowledgeable volunteers it's a time capsule you can visit with great views you can even stay in some of the renovated nissan huts .

Fantastic experience: Well worth the visit learned some new and very interesting stuff Tommo was so welcoming and friendly

Fantastic experience: Great visit with the family to the last POW camp left in Scotland. Interesting facts that I knew little about. Friendly volunteers in attendance and well worth a visit.

Fantastic experience: Came for a visit. Really interesting. I had no idea about POW camps and now you can book and stay over.

Fantastic experience: Fascinating history of the camp from ww2 P.O.Ws to the cold War. Walkability: Flat and easy to walk round Food and drinks: Has an onsite cafe close to two small towns, good for food

Fantastic experience: Great day out , it has a museum and the curator is very informative.

Fantastic experience: 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 by on the A85.

Fantastic experience: Tom ex soldier passionate telling of interesting history of the camp. Showed how the local community showed kindness which changed the lives of the prisoners held there Well worth a visit.

Fantastic experience: I loved this place, so cool with all the history and the surrounding countryside. There is so much to do around the area and a lovely walk into Comrie through the woods along the river. We stayed in one of the converted Nissan Huts, and i loved it. Nearby activities: You can swim in the river, there is a really cool bit where the locals go, it's called the Linn, i think. You can hire bikes from Comrie Croft, which isn't far away, and there are loads of beautiful walks around the area. Walkability: You can walk down the main road into Comrie which takes about 30 mins or take the walk along the river, which takes a bit longer as you'll be stopping to snap pics as it's very beautiful.

Positive experience: Didn't even know this place existed, an unusual piece of Scottish history. Worth a detour to visit.

Fantastic experience: We have just returned home from a wonderful two night stay at Cultybraggen Camp. The accommodation was amazing; spacious, clean very well equipped and soooo cosy. The camp site was very interesting especially the museum. The area was beautiful and the walk along the river to Comrie with the dog was so relaxing. Definitely would recommend this and hope to revisit soon.

Fantastic experience: We stayed in the camp for 2 nights, cannot fault anything beautiful self catering hut, very peaceful and interesting place to stay, the museum on site was very informative and interesting Rooms: We stayed in hut 36, was absolutely, unusual, quirky beautiful everything you needed, was very warm and had table and chairs to sit outside if weather permitting Nearby activities: Museum on site, run by volunteers, there's a cafe on site too but wasn't open unfortunately, also some business units a bakery for fresh bread etc, wine unit too

Fantastic experience: First time visiting. Next time I'm booking a room. Might not leave. Extremely historical place that all In is so calm and peaceful. Thanks Tom for the trip round the museum. very Informative and knowledgeable. Kids loved it and they want to come back just to see Tom

Fantastic experience: Cultybraggan Camp near Comrie is well worth a visit, with an interesting museum focusing on its role as a prisoner of war camp in WW2, and a good café, which was also good value. The service in the café was friendly and helpful, including to the dogs. Plenty of parking and good walking nearby. You can access the River Linn, but the path is narrow and not recommended unless you're pretty fit and flexible. There is a wild swimming area on the Linn but it's best accessed via Comrie and the other side of the river where you can park close to the swimming area. The opening hours are a bit restrictive, only opening late morning so best to check. Not sure if open out of season.

Fantastic experience: Had a great stay . They have everything you need.

Fantastic experience: Were out for the day, we'd always wanted to visit Cultybraggan. We were not disappointed, it was like going back in time. I would highly recommend a visit even if like us just to wander round.

Fantastic experience: Such a unique place to stay. Great location with loads close by to keep you entertained. Would highly recommend a visit.

Positive experience: Closed when there but the signs we saw were good

Fantastic experience: We stayed in cabin 36 (one of the 5 self-catering huts on offer), and we had a really enjoyable stay. We booked through AirBnB and got a fantastic price for our 3 day/long weekend trip at the camp. The camp itself is so deeply interesting and peaceful to be in/walk around (ironic given its past). The accommodation’s facilities were superb and it was immaculate. We can’t wait to return. Rooms: Immaculately presented with fantastic range of facilities provided. Safety: You feel very safe and it’s so quiet/serene and peaceful. Walkability: Beautiful site which is easily explorable on foot and is lovely to walk around

Fantastic experience: Lugar increible, los barracones utilizados en la 2° Guerra Mundial por el ejercito britanico ahora unos cuantos los rehabilitaron para apartamentos turisticos, son muy chulos, muy comodos, espaciosos y con todo tipo de servicio, incluso un barracon es utilizado de cafeteria y tambien hay un museo militar. La ubicacion es perfecta, lugar tranquilo y a 20 minutos de Stirling. Expectacular

Positive experience: Great to see

Fantastic experience: Great place for events.

Negative experience: It's mostly a industrial estate what a waste of a gem

Positive experience: Nice place to go, for coffee etc

Positive experience: A great experience and reminder of a part of history that is being forgotten.

Positive experience: Has enormous potential but isn't quite there yet. The traders that are there are excellent though.

Fantastic experience: Historical significance..... Worth a visit. Community venture.

Fantastic experience: We went for a craft sale and viking show. Great day had by all.

Fantastic experience: Great place to visit a hidden gem .and a well preserved wartime prisoner of War camp

Fantastic experience: Nothing beats World War Two history in my books, so visiting the last POW camp in Scotland was a must.

Positive experience: Excellent place to visit. Staff were super friendly. Atmospheric.

Fantastic experience: First time there since 1978 thought I would have got some memories back but it was if I'd never been there before

Positive experience: Beautiful setting nestled between the hills. Museum a bit disjointed hard to know what direction to go in.

Fantastic experience: Utterly fascinating place with some great stories which are well told by the volunteers, story boards and artefacts.

Negative experience: Nothing to do with army, anymore just few Nissans huts to look about and not very much else. Most of the other Nissan huts have been brought and used as business's.

Fantastic experience: Well worth visiting both the Museum and Museum extension....gives a great insight into to the history of Camp 21 and the tragic events that took place there...£5 courtesy donation...

Fantastic experience: Very interesting place. Much bigger and intact than I thought. Excellent museum.

Fantastic experience: Good place to visit is full of history about the camp from when it was built until it was no longer needed as a military camp

Positive experience: A very interesting visit. Not much to it though. However, I do recommend a visit should you be in the area.

Fantastic experience: Great cafe. The Jail block dating from WW2 is very atmospheric and curated by the most knowledgeable enthusiastic Susan. Well worth a visit!

Positive experience: Really interesting to visit. Has a small cafe and dogs are welcome throughout. No charge, just a donation. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Visited camp on Bank hol Sunday to attend Carry on Culty 23 had a great day. Lots of ww2 and earlier displays of vehicles and equipment. People dressed in British,German and Italian uniforms all very informative

Fantastic experience: We stayed for 2 night break in self catering accommodation in the camp, well presented and refurbished to great standard, lovely walk along river bank into Comrie,

Positive experience: Fascinating place that is now used by local businesses and has a small cafe. We didn’t manage to visit the museum but stopped to look around and had a scone at the cafe.

Fantastic experience: Modern comfort in the style of a POW camp. The accommodation manages to pull both the aesthetic of a WWII era prisoner of war camp with modern minimalist interiors. The derelict buildings give the site an authentic feel, there are businesses operating out of some of the units that makes the site feel like a community. Close to Comrie there are great amenities including a local fish and chip shop.

Positive experience: Have been wanting to go here for years and finally made it. Enjoyed walking about the site unfortunately the museum wasn't open as it doesn't open until April. Will try and get back . Great we cafe onsite lovely food.

Positive experience: We just popped in on a detour on our way from Inverness to Stirling. Small museum but very interesting. A lot of the prisoner of war huts are being renovated. One has been turned into a cafe and others are being used for Cheese and Breadmaking etc

Fantastic experience: Fantastic day out, great museum,lots of history to be found... Carry on Cullty... fantastic event. Tanks...bikes... military display and vehicles...very interesting day...cafe...great food available from different vendors.

Fantastic experience: The day was peaceful, we had a good relaxing walk around with plenty to read and see the history that surrounds the camp. We did bring our own lunch but we had a cup of tea and a home made scone from the cafe. The woman in the cafe was very friendly.

Fantastic experience: The camp was very interesting with a museum funded by a German ex prisoner of war. There was a small viking festival on when we went which was ok, re-enactment was good but there were no activities or stalls to buy stuff other than a craft shop on the barrack grounds. Cafe in site was busy and had a good menu with home baking which was great. Worth the hour and a half trip from Paisley.

Positive experience: Only a short visit probably too late in the day. But definitely looks very a interesting place. Lots of potential for small businesses and refurbished Nissan huts for holiday lets.

Positive experience: A good experience, a small museum but informative, takes about 40 mins. Another 20 mins to wander around the other open blocks. Nice little cafe with inside & outside seating.

Positive experience: Had a great morning in the old POW camp Very interesting to go in the museum and Nissan huts where the prisoners were kept. Also the Cafe on site had fantastic home made food, had a lovely lunch a big hearty plate of pumpkin and apple soup with a round of sandwiches, big pot of tea was very reasonable will be back one day.

Fantastic experience: Lovely little museum. Very informative and loved the personal stories of the POW who stayed there. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Honesty box entrance fee, but you can pay by card. Free parking. Would highly recommend if you have an hour or so free. The surroundings are stunningly beautiful and Comrie is s lovely little place to visit.

Fantastic experience: Cool place to visit. We stayed in the self catering huts. Everything you need. Very beautiful surroundings. Also visited the museum, lots of history from people who actually were imprisoned here! Only down side is the rest of the site doesn't look amazing, bit industrial. Also the cattle grid at the entrance to the site makes a loud noise when cars drive over it. Hopefully they will be able to put some rubber underneath it to try and reduce the noise.

Fantastic experience: The only preserved Prisoner of War camp in the UK, so much history as all the buildings are still as they were. Great museum and you can even stay in one of the huts (as we did) which are completely refurbished. Definitely recommend visiting this place.

Fantastic experience: Terrific place to visit and well worth taking a trip off of the main road to get there. We spent a few hours during our visit, soaking up the atmosphere and seeing the artefacts in the museum. No visit would be complete without a cup of tea and a sausage in a roll from the cafe. Staff were very knowledgeable and pleasant. Being dog friendly allowed us to take our fur kid along too.

Negative experience: Worst place ever...

Positive experience: Pretty cool place

Positive experience: Good a project in making

Fantastic experience: Very glad I visited staff very helpful

Positive experience: Interesting history and nice setting

Fantastic experience: Great place to fly so much history and the people are very friendly

Positive experience: Interesting place with the history of it being displayed on boards around the camp.

Fantastic experience: Well worth a visit and thoroughly enjoyed our visit staff very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Done a military skills competition here when I was in the army cadets back in the 90s, amazing place, great atmosphere and nice to see its being restored

Positive experience: Old prisoner of war camp in remarkable condition,and they are converting some of the huts into holiday let's, looks great fun to me.

Fantastic experience: During the 90's 124FLD SQN RE had a troop here to teach the cadets, we had all the power tools on display and the cadets got to use them, We also ran the watermanship site on Loch Earnhead where the cadets learned to build a raft. Great times had by all

Positive experience: Went here in 1973 with the Territorial Army for my recruits course, even found the billet I stayed in. Nice museum showing how it was when used as a POW camp during WW2.up to it's closure on 2004.

Fantastic experience: Was very interesting. Would have been good to see some of the huts that are business open to see how they are working and utiliseing the area. Lovely camuity garden, Beautiful setting Go visit and donate to the community

Positive experience: Had a nice wander around for a YouTube video. Good to see small companies using old huts for businesses. Probably worth a revisit when the visitor centre opens back up again.

Positive experience: 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. There is a nuclear bunker but unfortunately it's not open which is a bit of a shame as it would have added something different. There is a pizza and cafe place to get something to eat but prices are a bit on the pricey side. Its free to visit but donation are appreciated.

Positive experience: Fantastic idea the camp is a work in progress the museum is interesting and the cafe is worth a visit really lovely great service and the food is good quality and delicious I had pancakes with bacon and maple syrup my daughter and Grandson both had breakfast rolls with extra filling very reasonable priced don't feel your getting ripped off my Greatgrandson said the caramel shortbread was delicious . You can also hire out a hut for a holiday they looked really comfortable if you're in area definitely pay a visit

Positive experience: An ex-POW camp taken over by the community, with a small-but-intriguing museum, and a lot of other activity (small businesses, holiday lets, allotments) developing on-site. The museum is full of carefully-researched stories and (small) artefacts such as letters etc. It probably won't detain kids very long in its present state, but for those interested in WWII or even just social history, there's quite a bit worth seeing/reading.

Fantastic experience: We stayed at the air b n b site the newly renovated huts. The huts are beautifully appointed a real bit of somewhere quirky but high end place to stay. All the locals we brilliant on site, we also enjoyed all the walks around the camp and learning about its history. We would love to return and see the ongoing developments on the site

Fantastic experience: Really amazing place to visit.

Positive experience: Went there with the army cadets it was a bit creepy heard soldiers marching at night but there was noone there

Fantastic experience: Superb weekend up at the ROC Nuclear Bunker. (FAO Cultybraggan , there are two Nuclear bunkers at Cultybraggan. One a large complex owned by a communications company and this one photographed here, a ROC Bunker) Note the photos quite clearly show the small ROC Bunker and not the large bunker owned by Bogons

Positive experience: What an amazing place. Can't wait to see inside their reconstructed shed when they open up again. Must have around 70 buildings surviving. Lots of small businesses in them too. I believe it's the only camp left intact. Such potential as a huge attraction in the future.

Positive experience: Very interesting place

Fantastic experience: Some place to visit

Positive experience: Brilliant trip back in time

Fantastic experience: Adventure training here when in the army,this place was awesome.

Positive experience: Very atmospheric. Also a good community project.

Fantastic experience: This is a piece of History that should never be Forgotten, Best way to see this location is by car as it is out in the Sticks.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place for a ghost hunt with Scottish Hauntings.

Positive experience: I also spent a weekend here with my school Combined Cadet Force (CCF) in the 60s. I remember it being rather cold and basic...

Positive experience: The wonderful memories of the wild parties in the mess during the dpm days! The carpet burns faded but the memories last.

Fantastic experience: Hi have so many happy memories when I was in the army cadets, offered amazing training grounds, would love to go back to visit

Positive experience: Wasn't open but was able to drive around anyway. Had an eerie feeling about it, thought it was a great little reminder of what happened in our Scotland.

Positive experience: Just seen the camp on antiques road show. Brought back fantastic memories of staying there 50 years ago with the army cadet force Lovely to see the place again Hope to visit in the future Thanks for the memories

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing history and conservation to keep the site as it is, would highly recommend visiting if you enjoy learning more about WWII history.

Fantastic experience: I stayed here with my school CCF in about 2003. Lots of fun! At the time though I had no idea of the actual history of the place. Might come to visit for a walk around!

Positive experience: Okay if you like history. I think a lot more could be done with this place as its a bit lacking. More setting the scene and a little less leaving to the imagination. A large part us used for local businesses to use as storage/workshop space.
