Slightly off at a tangent here... the type 27 pillbox on the beach esplanade in Aberdeen is indeed open inside the centre gun pit. 
Unfortunately, there's bugger all worth taking a photo of inside.
This one has the stump of a wooden post cemented into the centre of the pit. I'm not entirely sure why, and the pit itself is a good bit deeper than that at Hillhead. So I'm not sure how they were supposed to mount a weapon in there, unless it was attached to the wooden post somehow.
Ah, bugger it. I'll take a camera next time I'm passing.

I went back today. Just when I thought I'd milked it for all the excitement I could, I discovered yet more surprises!!!!
I'll get another thread started for the new stuff just as soon as I get the pics sorted and uploaded.
Oh aye, came across another wee gem while I took a detour back home. More on that later too.
