Civil Defence Corps. During the 1960s, this HQ was staffed by the Civil Defence Corps before the whole bunker was taken over by Central Government. The Civil Defence Corps itself was a civilian volunteer organisation established in Great Britain in 1949 to take control in the aftermath of a nuclear attack. It was stood down in the United Kingdom in 1968, but continues to exist on the Isle of Man and in the Republic of Ireland.

Hound point Battery was part of a defensive system built along the coast of the UK that stretched from Shetland to Cornwall. Building work began on the Battery before the start of World War One and it was operational by 1914. The Battery consisted of two gun emplacements at the top of the hill overlooking the Firth of Forth, and a magazine building to the rear and slightly further down the hill. While it was operational the perimeter of the Battery would have been surrounded by blockhouses and a barbed wire fence. When it was armed in 1914 the Battery had two BL 6-inch Mk VII guns, however these were removed in 1915 and transferred to another battery at Leith Docks. The guns were then replaced in 1916 with two 12 pounder Quick Firing Naval 18cwt guns. These were dismounted and removed in 1922.

 

In September 1914, the Battery at Hound Point opened fire on a suspected enemy submarine out in the Firth of Forth. However, one of the shells fired ricocheted off the water and landed near to the Earl of Moray’s residence at Donibristle House in Dalgety Bay. Luckily, it didn’t cause much damage other than ploughing up the lawn in front of the house. The enemy submarine was eventually sunk by a gunner based out on Inchgarvie Island.

 

The Battery is now in a state of disrepair and is badly vandalised and crumbling away, much like most of the old coastal defences. However, around the old gun emplacements there are some good views, through the trees, over the Forth. The sort of views that make you realise why they built the Battery where they did.

I also stretched the Canvas in elements 5 to allow for more of the dramatic sky to be included...Comments please.
