Explored here with Wurzel and ZombieSazza weather was quite murky but still a good day out. Built in WW2 to protect the naval anchorage in the Cromarty Firth . It is situated on top of the cliffs and is very similar to the South Sutor Coast Battery which was built in WW1 but revamped for WW2. A minefield ran between them as this was a ideal place for enemy submarines to do some serious damage. Norwegian Personnel operated and trained here and it was armed with two 6" gun emplacements There is two searchlight emplacements at the bottom of cliff but I woosed out ha ha ( don't really do heights ) . Site has several buildings still in good condition and a lot of the original camo paint can still be seen along with some steel shutters.
Anyway here is the pics
Looking across to South Sutor Fort - One of the searchlight emplacements the ones at this Fort look the same
Pretty sure they didn't have these to contend with
Looking to the engine house
They fairly stripped the vents off and chucked them here
Some nice brickwork ( does anyone know of any history about the bricks were they local made at sites or brought in or even built on site)
Various Buildings that I am unsure of
Back of the furthest North Emplacement
Front View
See the Camo paint
The Observation Post
Dinner anyone is it a rabbit is it a bird - dunno but I bet it tastes like chicken
Another building several layers high looks like it has collapsed a level as the very bottom floor had rangefinder points
A underground Store
The gun mount
Under the more Southern Emplacment
Going up
A great place to visit well worth the trip
