Every building tells a story and this one certainly has a rich history. Hut 36 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 constructed during the Second World War, Nissen huts were widely used in Prisoner of War camps across Britain. Although designed as temporary structures, Cultybraggan Camp continued in use for more than 70 years 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 thoughtfully reimagined. Five huts have been transformed into spacious, sustainable self catering accommodation, offering guests a distinctive and memorable stay in the Perthshire countryside.
Hut 36 retains its iconic curved exterior, complete with a bright red roof, crisp white frontage and black trim, standing out against the surrounding Aberuchill Hills. Inside, the space has been fully renovated to create a bright and welcoming open plan layout.
Natural light fills the living area, highlighting blond wooden floors, soft cream walls and pale furnishings. The open plan space 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, and there is a modern shower room finished to a high standard.
Hut 36 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.

Location
Cultybraggan Camp is situated just outside Comrie, in the heart of Perthshire. The site is home to local businesses and community groups, and guests can explore the on site Prisoner of War exhibition, which includes a recreation of original accommodation.
Comrie offers independent shops and places to eat, with further amenities available in nearby Crieff. Families may enjoy a visit to Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre, while golfers are within easy reach of excellent courses including Gleneagles. Walkers are well placed to explore routes ranging from gentle circular walks to the more challenging Munros of Ben Vorlich, Stuc a Chroin and Ben Chonzie.
Please note there is a cattle grid at the entrance to the camp. As the site supports several small business outlets, there may be occasional vehicle movement in the early mornings and late evenings.
Welcome to Cultybraggan Camp, we hope you enjoy this unique and characterful stay.
