Scotland’s WW1 History. What remains at Stobs camp WW1

We go in search of what is apparently, the best remaining WW1 camp anywhere in the UK.

During the Great War it also acted as a prisoner of war Internment camp (POW).
German civilians from within the UK were the first to arrive – followed by the military prisoners.

Follow us on our exploration of this area.

We’ll leave you to research what has become a fascinating archaeological site. Please see links below.

Don’t forget to switch on the subtitles.
The auto translation does not understand Paul’s Cumbrian accent, so poor Paulo has to work on these in manual mode.

Bonus fun footage offers a personal insight into Rano & Paulo!
