1993 Coastal Battery. A concrete built gun emplacement, situated on Scad Head. A twin 6 pounder emplacement with no overhead cover with associated buildings and evidence of railway tracks on the beach. The guns were removed in 1950. The accommodation area (Scottish NMR HY20SE 2. 02) lies at the bottom of a tramway incline some 600m below the B9047 public road. Other elements of the battery can be detected around the point and further SE are traces of another gun-emplacement.
