Cultybraggan Army (now closed) camp consists of little more than rows of WW2 Nissan Huts (It had been a prisoner of war camp) interspersed with a few small brick buildings. The camp covers some 8 acres (3 hectares) and could accommodate 600 personnel in a mixture of huts and tents. Annually, the camp could accommodate some 80,000 man training days from the three services and cadets, and included adventure training, cross-country driving, and helicopter operations.

Exercises took place in the Tighnablair Training Area, leased from the Drummond Estate, and covering some 12,000 acres.The camp ceased to be used by the military in 2004, when villagers in Comrie began a campaign to buy part of the camp in order to preserve it as a heritage attraction. The group took possession of the site in 2007
