HistoryEdzell Woods is located on part of the old Royal Air Force airfield RAF Edzell.

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.
