This is the old wartime Chain Home radar station at Kingsmuir, near Anstruther in Fife.
This is the standby generator building...





And this is one of the actual radar buildings-not sure if it's the transmitter or receiver building...





This little building stands at the end of the field



The technical site used to survive about half a mile down the road, but is now cleared away.
When Kingsmuir closed post-war, it was replaced by a Rotor radar building at nearby Troywood...


...Which is now open to the public as Scotland's Secret Bunker

These two Nissen huts are still used by one of the local farmers at East Pitcorthie....
