Sandgreen Caravan Park is a holiday park on the coast of southwest Scotland with a mix of static caravans and lodges. Sandgreen is a very natural park with its own private beach on the Fleet Bay estuary and is situated on gentle sloping land that extends to 42.20 acres.
The land at Sandgreen has been owned by the same family for decades - follow our timeline below.
1800s
Before the park was established, the land was used primarily for pastoral farming.
1910s
The land was taken out of the farm prior to the 1914 War with a view to develop.
1934
Plans were submitted for the land to be developed into a championship golf course and LMS Railway were interested in building a hotel on the land, however, following their building of Leeds Station Hotel, nothing came of this.
circa 1950
A warden’s house and shop were built at Sandgreen.
1947
Despite touring caravans regularly visited Sandgreen prior to the 1939 Wa, planning permission was initially opposed by the County Council. The case was later presented by the Chairman of the Scottish Land Court and President of the Scottish Lands Tribunal where it was settled and proved that Sandgreen had been an informal site pre- 1947.
1964
The Crown Commissioners confirmed Sandgreen owned the foreshore.
2003
Sandgreen moved from a touring caravan park to a static and lodge park where planning permission was granted for 260 holiday homes.
Today
Sandgreen is still owned by the same family.
