Background
History
Forthside Barracks were built as an ordnance depot in 1899. It became the depot of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders before they vacated the place in 1999. In November 2016 the Ministry of Defence announced that the facility, as well as the adjacent Meadowforth Barracks, would close in 2022, later extended to 2024. 51st Infantry Brigade and Army Headquarters Scotland relocated from Forthside to Redford Cavalry Barracks in Edinburgh on 26 March 2021.
