Castle Kennedy Airfield - Stranraer, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, UK

Old News !!!

As part of the process of improvement at Castle Kennedy, we are investigating the provision of fuel at the airfield.

The airfield will continue to be improved, and all landing fees are re invested into tar and equipment!

Castle Kennedy Gardens open for the 2010 season on 1st April, and are open until the end of September, and then for weekends in October, and the remainder of the year without the tea room, but with an honesty box for entry. The gardens are approx 20 mins walk from the airfield, and extend to 75 acres, with a tea room supplying light meals, and home baking. There is also a plant centre. Further info on the soon to be updated(!) website at www.castlekennedygardens.co.uk

Castle Kennedy Airfield is ideally positioned for access to the new Stranraer Marina.

We are looking for the next improvements to be made to the airfield. If you have useful suggestions please contact through the Contact page.

In particular it would be interesting to know the potential fuel uplift, and of which type.

Following a few complaints, could users of the airfield please avoid overflying the village. On departure from Rwy 26 please make a 20 deg left turn as soon as possible to avoid the houses. On approach to land on Rwy 08 please obey the circuit rules.
