A community in Perthshire has come together to work towards achieving sustainable community owned resources for the benefit of local people.
Comrie Development Trust, set up in 2006, is a charitable organisation of volunteers and funded staff who care passionately about Comrie. They are working hard on the many projects they are funded to undertake – the environmentally sustainable development of Cultybraggan (the ex POW camp now owned by the community) – the reduction of the community carbon footprint in the Comrie Carbon Challenge as well as the many other areas of work featured in our projects section.
We hope you will find our pages filled with a wealth of information on who we are, what we are doing, who made it possible, how we’ve done it and the aspirations for the future of our community as well as guidance on recycling, composting and saving money on your fuel bills by insulating your loft etc.

Where ancient rivers meet new ideas.
“Comrie”, the name given by the Scots invaders of the 7th century, is derived from the Gaelic Comh sruth meaning ‘flowing together’, as our village sits where the three rivers of the Earn, Ruchill and Lednock meet. In the 21st century, it is a place where ancient rivers and new ideas are flowing together through the initiative of the local community.
