The naval barracks at Port Edgar date from about 1918 and comprise a group of one- and two-storey brick-built, slated buildings with regular windows. The barracks was originally intended to house the personnel for the Torpedo Boat Destroyer base at Port Edgar. The barracks were in military use until 1927, after which they were used as accommodation to give poor families a holiday. The barracks were re-occupied in the Second World War, in part as a naval hospital, when Port Edgar was the main mine-sweeping base for Scotland. The 4th epoch OS 1:10560 map (surveyed 1948) shows the complex of buildings labelled "Royal Naval Hospital".
