What is recorded here

Castle Kennedy Airfield, Domestic Camp stood in Dumfries and Galloway as a Second World War military camp, providing living space for the people who kept the airfield running. The official record pins the site within ten metres, yet it offers no invitation to walk the grass or touch what remains. That distance between knowing where the camp sat and being able to stand inside it is the true edge of the story.

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.
