Jail Block Electrical Upgrade — Heritage Infrastructure
Heinrich Steinmeyer Legacy Fund
Funder Expectations
Fund electrical upgrades in the Jail Block at Cultybraggan Camp including heaters, dehumidifiers, smoke alarms and sundry items, supporting museum and heritage use of the building.
- ✓Electrical system in Jail Block upgraded
- ✓Heaters, dehumidifiers, and smoke alarms installed
- ✓Jail Block usable for heritage and community activities
- •No formal grant conditions or reporting cycle found — fund operates informally
- •Previous CDT cash-flow request (2023) received a very negative response — keep communications project-focused
The Heinrich Steinmeyer Legacy Fund commemorates a German POW held at Cultybraggan who became a benefactor of Comrie. Administered locally by a committee including John King ([email protected]). Frances ([email protected]) communicated the 2025 award. Colin Crawford noted Sept 2025 the fund 'has no money left in it' — meaning the 2025 award is fully allocated, not that the fund is dissolved. The 2022 accounts show a Steinmeyer woodland grant (J Thomson invoice). Relationship with CDT has been inconsistent — treat with care.
