Kinlochleven First World War Prisoner of War Camp is a wartime internment facility established in Inverness-shire, Scotland during the First World War to house enemy prisoners. The camp operated during the period of the Great War, reflecting Britain's need to accommodate captured servicemen far from potential security concerns. The site's remote Highland location provided natural isolation suitable for secure prisoner detention. Physical remains of the camp may include structural evidence of barracks, administrative buildings, or other infrastructure typical of early twentieth century prisoner accommodation, though the condition and extent of surviving features would require archaeological assessment to determine.
