Castle Kennedy Airfield, Domestic Camp

Military Camp (second World War)

What is recorded here

Castle Kennedy Airfield, Domestic Camp was a Second World War military camp in Dumfries and Galloway. It is no longer an active base, but the land still carries the shape of that urgent time. Rows of simple buildings may have stood where grass grows now, feeding men and women caught between home and war. The camp has vanished from daily life, yet it remains marked in the national record, waiting for someone to walk past and imagine the noise inside.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Kennedy Airfield, Domestic Camp as Military Camp (second World War). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Built during World War II as a domestic camp to support the Castle Kennedy Airfield, it was held by the British military. The site is important as part of Scotland's extensive network of wartime air defenses and training facilities.
