Scope and Content The image features the Binn Hill Firing Range, a Ministry of Defence rifle range thought to have been established c. 1945 and still operational at time of writing (2020). The image also shows anti-tank blocks and a pillbox, which are part of 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). Features of the Battery, located further west (not in this image), included an observation post, gun and searchlight emplacements, engine rooms, communication trenches and an accommodation camp.
