Description Oblique aerial view of Innes Links and Lossie Forest, Moray, looking S.

Date 1999

Collection Papers of James Sloan Bone, landscape historian, Inverness, Highland, Scotland

Catalogue Number SC 1867655

Category On-line Digital Images

Scope and Content The image covers the area occupied by the WW2 Innes Links Emergency Coast Battery -- the only one in Scotland built to defend a beach (in this instance the shoreline between the rivers Spey and Lossie). A row of anti-tank blocks lines the shore, overlooked by pillboxes. The complex included an observation post, gun and searchlight emplacements, engine rooms, and communication trenches. An accommodation camp was situated beside the abandoned fishing station seen here as a single storey building in an elongated clearing in the forest. The farmland of Speyslaw beyond the forest has a long history of agriculture and settlement known to date back at least to the 16-C. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
