A Purdy, August 1996

The northern part of a very large accommodation camp situated in area annotated as 'Goat' on the current OS 1:2500 scale digital map is visible on vertical air photogrpahs (106G/Scot/UK 97, 3026-3027, flown 18 May 1946).

The series taken in 1989 (All Scotland Survey [Jasair], 27 89 004-005, flown 4-6 July 1989), the whole camp had been demolished though the hut bases are still visible. The current OS 1:2500 scale digital maps still depicts the trackways between the huts and also several of the air-raid shelters.
