History

Edzell Woods is located on part of the old Royal Air Force airfield RAF Edzell. The site was an active airfield for over fifty years, first as a RAF station during World War II, and then leased to the United States Navy, from 1960 until its decommissioning in 1996, finally closing in 1997. Following the closure of the base, the houses, airfield, and administrative buildings were put up for sale. The married quarters (houses) were purchased by a developer and individually sold. The airfield & administrative buildings of the base are owned Carnegie Base Services. Plans have been proposed to create 1,000 additional homes adjacent to Edzell Woods.[2]

Services
