My mates got a mini digger and I'm sure the golf course's won't mind. The green keepers can do wonderful stuff these days. Makes you wonder though just how many other golf courses have been built over the top of WW2 remains
The edge of Peterhead golf course probably holds a few surprises over by the dunes and beach. I know that there is the remains of at least one building buried under the sand cos I used to play in it when I was a nipper.
About 15 years ago, a storm demolished part of the dunes just above a pillbox, revealing no end of spent rounds, all strangely pointing inland, and with the remains of the barbed wire entanglement and associated ironmongery.
Again when I was wee, somebody discovered a buried cache of weapons in the dunes under, I think, a concrete slab, which had taken a slide downhill after weather undercut it. Certainly the concrete slab is still there.
Off topic slightly, near the site of the first clubhouse, the sand is being eroded from their midden. It seems that way back when, it was common practice just to dump their shite over the side of the dunes. So all their broken bottles, glasses and crockery is coming to the fore. ('Scuse golfing punnery.
)
Oh aye, and at the bottom of that dune is a wooden pallisade, perhaps nothing to do with the WW2 defenses, but again having WW2 artefacts being revealed by the weather, in the form of old 40 gallon drums.
I'm well amazed that I've never been able to find anyone with any memories of what was over there. But I suppose visitors were not exactly encouraged to go wandering about the beach and dunes in the war.
