The group is transforming an original barrack to include a Ukrainian heritage hub
An appeal for help has been made to complete internal restorations for a small visitor facility at the former Ukrainian prisoner-of-war camp near Lockerbie .
This latest work at the camp follows careful restoration, including new roof, windows and door, at the neighbouring grade-B listed camp chapel, used by displaced Ukrainians held there after World War Two, most working in local agriculture and forestry. The Dumfriesshire site was visited by the then Ukrainian ambassador to the UK and other diplomats only months before the conflict began.
“The site will continue to open on a part-time basis, be run by our volunteers and, depending on the level of interest and funding, develop further organically.
