The Friends of Cammo want to install a free-standing information panel near the Cammo House ruin.
This information panel will create an extra point of interest in Cammo for visitors. Together with the other enhancements in the Orientation and Interpretation Strategy, Cammo will have more to offer and be easier to navigate around.
We hope that increasing awareness of Cammo’s history will also lead to increased support for its heritage to be valued and protected.
The text will tell the story of the house, built in 1693, twice extended to become a large 19th century mansion, then its decline in the 20th century completed by fires in 1977 and partial demolition. This text will be accompanied by copies of paintings of Cammo House as it was around 1794 and 1910 and we intend to commission an aerial view of the house and its surroundings as it was in the late 19th century.
We have already secured 50% of the funding for the information panel and with your support we can raise the rest which will allow visitors to learn more about the fascinating history of Cammo House and create an extra point of interest in Cammo for visitors.

Gift Aid Declaration
Boost your donation by 25p of Gift Aid for every £1 donated.
Gift Aid is reclaimed by MyParkScotland from the tax you pay for the current year. Your address is needed to identify you as a UK taxpayer.
By choosing a donation level that includes Gift Aid you confirm that I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations it is my responsibility to pay any difference.
The additional funds generated through Gift Aid donations are invested in the park endowment fund which supports the long term management of our wonderful parks.
Please notify MyParkScotland if you:
- want to cancel this declaration
- change your name or home address
- no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains
If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code

MyParkScotland provides a safe and easy way to make a donation to support this great project.
To make a donation, click on ‘Support Now’ and select your choice of Gift Level. If you are a UK tax payer, selecting a Level which includes Gift Aid means that we can top up your donation at no extra cost to you. Adding Gift Aid typically means that your online donation of, for example, £10 becomes a park investment of £11.53 (after paying platform and management fees). You need to provide your address to enable us to claim Gift Aid.
Gift Aid is a Government scheme which allows charities to increase the value of donations made to them. Gift Aid makes a huge difference to small charities and local organisations, but if they aren’t registered with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and HMRC, they can’t claim Gift Aid (and many that could claim Gift Aid don’t because they find the process too complicated). At MyParkScotland, we take care of the claim process on eligible donations, so that the Friends and community groups can concentrate on the great work they do in our parks.
We use PayPal to manage online donations and they charge a small platform fee for handling donations. We work hard to keep our fees as low as possible to make sure that as much of each donation as possible is invested in our parks. For donations without Gift Aid, at least 92% of your donation is invested in parks. MyParkScotland is a not-for-profit registered Scottish charity (No. SC045424) and any fees taken go towards covering essential operating costs.
You can find out more information about Gift Aid and MyParkScotland fees in the main Small Print section.

Great project. Cammo Estate has interesting stories about designed landscape, Cammo House and its owners, and the wildlife of the Local Nature Reserve.
