Another unfinished tunnelsystem, two finished galleries and one where they had started digging, but there is just a tunnel in the rock no concrete walls had been built.
Agreed...but you have the Lochs, the Hielands and the Distilleries...and the shortbread and the smoked salmon!!!!! There are quite a few bunkers on the east coast of Scottland though! I found a few on google earth last week.
A small shelter for trench systems, the steel door to the emergency exit is still in place. There are several large dug-outs next to it and a tree with tree carvings. Till now I found five of these non-standard type shelters along the Our river, inbetween the villages of Ammeldingen and Körperich
This "SK" is a combination of a RB20 anti-tank gun bunker and a RB23 machinegun bunker. Outside view of the front of the bunkers, to the left is the "RB20 Pakschartenstand", to the right the "RB23 MG-Schartenstand" Outside view ofthe northern side wall of the RB20. The bedding for the 3,7 cm Pak AT gun and the remnants of the firing port. The northern wall as seen from the inside. The southern wall, adjacent to the RB23 as seen from the inside. View from the fighting compartment into the entry court, the two winged armoured stee door has been pilfered. The inside of the RB20's fighting compartment, note the arcs for the AT gun's carriage.

I know for sure that it was a "Schartenstand" machinegun bunker because I found the armoured steel shutter of a type 422P01(D) "Schartenplatte", my best guess would be a "Regelbau 105" but I'm not sure about it. A heavy beast...it's only 40X30 cm but it must weigh nearly 40kg......
Anoother Schartenstand I could not identify with a 100% vertainty, again I think taht it might be a RB105. Interestingly one armoured door was buried beneath a big chunk of concrete so the scavengers could not take it away.
