Depending on which paper you read there are, 50 or 91 or 97 Ministry of Defence sites to close across the UK a quite a few are historic so selling them with no doubt listed planning restrictions will be interesting.
The Scottish closing dates for the main bases are
Meadowforth Barracks - 2022, Redford Cavalry Barracks - 2022, Redford Infantry Barracks - 2022, Fort George - 2032, Glencorse Barracks - 2032, MoD Caledonia - 2022, Forthside Stirling - 2022, Craigiehall Scottish Army HQ - 2018.
Those bases near / in major cities weill sell easily, but a historic site like Fort George is too far out from cities and restrictive for property developers. It's a very large site without a huge community to use the base as a museum economically without government (Scottish or UK) subsidies.
