TThe site of the former PoW Camp 6 Coelenterate Camp like so many others is the site of a now demolished country house with a couple of traces remaining of the PoW Camp in the form of a hut base with a new hut on it as shown on the headline image.

Interestingly it is also the one of the 1st UK Forestry Commission Sites (text from site):

  • One of the jewels of the Forest Park, Glenbranter has trails from a short stroll among ancient oaks to a challenging all-day bike ride.
  • The first trees of what was to become the Argyll Forest Park were planted here in the 1920s, after entertainer Harry Lauder leased the ground to the Forestry Commission. Later, Glenbranter village was built for workers who came here to work the forests of Cowal.
