"Dangerous Building Keep Out" Lol. Great report that...

Nice to see someones put a few acrows in to keep up the roof.Looked it up and the loch was used as an assembly point for WW2 convoys and is still apparently used by nato today.The DOB data base shows the whole loch was surrounded by 9 AA positions,most of these appear,from google earth, to still be in existance and at least one is visible on street view being used to store caravans.
There was other protection as wll

Loch Ewe, Anti-submarine Indicator Loops, Royal Navy

the one pic shows how badly corroded the acrows are, all of the buildings had them in most were on the floor where the props had rusted through

Yeah as I was looking I was thinking that the building really is pretty dangerous.

Love a bit of ww2 emplacement action, thanks.

Nice to see this place again, good to see some of the Acros still holding, they were bad enough when I went a few years back...

Thanks for posting
