    It was bought by The Comrie Development Trust(CDT)which is the name given to the comunity buy out.They paid £350,000 for it and also own the bunker at the rear of the camp and also the roc post.The bunker is aparently showing lots of signs of mold and slime inside but we cannot confrirm as it was all locked up.We got told that if we had went down the week berore we would have got into it as it was open for Comrie gala week.They were talking about one of the huts being used to grow mushrooms but nothing has come of it so far.The guy we spoke too said that some of the huts were now listed,They are currently upgrading the electric before they can start renting out the huts but they also reckon that maintance will be approx £85,000 a year so rent wont be that cheap with council tax added on.

    Very damp and leaky in April 08. Can only imagine it is much worse now as the air con systems etc. are rarely if even run I believe.

    Apart from anything, the fact it's quite leaky can't have bode well should it have ever needed to be used during a war

    It's owned by the Comrie Development Trust which is set to lease it to small businesses.

    It's open as part of the "Doors Open" events in Scotland on 26th September 2009 (10-4)
