Balmedie Pillboxes - 17th August 2017
One of several World War II pillboxes at Balmedie Beach, to the north of Aberdeen. Strangely, these pillboxes cover the area inland of the beach instead of the beach itself where the main threat would have been expected.
Wikipedia states - Three pillboxes were built on the dunes at Balmedie to protect a small radar station consisting of three masts. Anti-tank blocks are also located in the dunes along with remains of the barbed wire defences just to the north.
