Comrie Development Trust
Who we are.
A trust run by people who live in Comrie, accountable to the community.
Our Mission
We own Cultybraggan Camp — 100 acres, 70 listed buildings. We run it, maintain it, and put any surplus back into Comrie.
The board are volunteers elected from the community; staff are employed locally. In 2007 CDT bought the camp from the Ministry of Defence for £350,000. The community voted 97% in favour.
