Beside a minor road a mile and a half south of Lockerbie stand a few weatherworn prefabricated huts. They are all that remain of the Hallmuir Prisoner of War Camp. There are several brown tourist signs from the edge of Lockerbie that help to direct visitors towards a destination that may otherwise be hard to find.
The reason for seeking out the site can be found in one of the huts, which although appears completely unremarkable from the outside, houses the superb Hallmuir Ukrainian Chapel.
This was built here by Ukrainian internees who occupied the camp from May 1947.
