One for Pillboxesuk!

These are shots of the WW1 pillboxes (built February/March 1915)at Braefoot Plantation coastal battery, Dalgety Bay, Fife.
The battery had two 9.2 inch guns, defended barracks, numerous buildings and its own supply anchorage-all of which still exist (apart from the guns! ).
The first pillbox has six sides, and has multiple loopholes on each side.





The second pillbox is rectangular.





The last one was built overhanging the cliff edge, and is almost unnoticeable now due to the heavy undergrowth. This is a shot from below.
