Site of Doonfoot POW Camp
During the Second World War, the area now occupied by private housing at Doonfoot was the location of two POW camps, numbers 14 & 112. December 1944 saw the biggest POW escape in the UK when 97 Italians tunnelled out. However, nearly all were recaptured quickly and easily, after having to light fires to keep themselves warm in the Scottish winter. One of the British guards commented at the end of the war that his prisoners were not SS, just ordinary soldiers wanting to get home. There's no trace of the POW camp now. This view looks south-eastwards along Earls Way.
