Now “Comrie Heritage Group”
a
“Camp 21 Cultybraggan – A History” was published on April 1st 2010 with a print run of 1,000. Complimentary copies have been sent to local libraries, schools, etc, as well as contributors, funders, etc.
A second print run was made in November 2012.

The booklet is being distributed from outlets in Comrie, Crieff and Perth at a cost of (£5.00) which was kept low to ensure that the aims of the Heritage Lottery Fund (the funders) are met in making heritage accessible to as many people as possible. Surplus from sales will be used by the Group for other local history purposes.

The Group held a very successful Afternoon Reminiscences Tea at the local WRI Hall and had a busy information stand at the Culty Quake with its newly acquired display stand which will be used again at the Comrie Fortnight events.

Work on the camp history does not end with the publication of the booklet. The longer-term aim of developing a historical exhibit at the camp remains in the group’s plans, although its incorporation into a broader ‘Comrie, Past, Present & Future’ Exhibition may be a more realistic project with a wider appeal.
