Every building tells a story and this one certainly has a rich history. Hut 35 is one of five beautifully modernised Nissen huts at the former Cultybraggan Prisoner of War Camp, set just outside the picturesque village of Comrie in Perthshire.
Originally built during the Second World War, Nissen huts were widely used in Prisoner of War camps across Britain. Although intended as temporary structures, Cultybraggan Camp continued in use for more than 70 years after the war as a Ministry of Defence training centre. Today, it is the last remaining Prisoner of War Camp in Scotland and has been recognised by Historic Scotland as a unique heritage asset of international value.
Now owned by Comrie Development Trust, the camp has been carefully preserved and reimagined. Five huts have been transformed into spacious, sustainable self catering accommodation, offering guests a distinctive stay that blends heritage with modern comfort.
While the huts retain their iconic curved design, they have been thoughtfully updated with a bright red roof, crisp white frontage and black trim, standing out against the surrounding Aberuchill Hills. Inside, Hut 35 has been fully renovated to create a bright and welcoming open plan living space.
Natural light enhances the blond wooden floors, soft cream walls and pale furnishings, creating a calm and spacious feel. The open plan layout includes a fully equipped kitchen, dining table seating four, and comfortable seating with a double sofa bed and television.
The separate bedroom features a king size bed, complemented by a modern shower room finished to a high standard.
Hut 35 is dog friendly. Cultybraggan Camp kindly requests that dogs are kept on a lead at all times while on site and are not permitted on sofas or beds.
