Visited this afternoon with Zimbob, followed by Tain ROC after dark (figured it didn't matter what light there was outside) We didn't get too much light but the weather was great, if a little chilly
Not too much info about the site. Was originally an annexe to RAF Tain, and later taken over by the Navy (hence the style of the control tower) Very little remaining in good nick, but an interesting explore none the less
Some Nissen huts
Frozen water on part of runway/hard standing
Why do people have to make holes?
Electricity once lived here
That hole again
I swear sheep can move fast when they are being photographed!
Building with upstair windows but no upstairs! Large door on front and large circle in centre of floor. some major pipework and square hole in roof. 1 of 2 we found??? Notice damage to lintel over doorway:crazy
The square hole in roof
This wall had the corrugations of the tin or asbestos sheeting that would have covered it. Interestingly they would be running the wrong way?
Gable end of a very small nissen hut, maybe only 15 feet end to end
More remains
The setting sun
We were laughing at the collapsing concrete tables when I looked up and saw this
Next large building had strange holes in the wall, some filled in and moved
Things were looking up, we found a staircase, and in good nick too
Looking down
View of control tower at far end of site
Hand/foot hold, a few of which facilitated access to a walled area
The same on the other side allowed access in and out of here. Reason: UNKNOWN?
We found several shelters in C-shaped mounds around hard standings
This was a man made pond. Concrete in construction, sides shuttered with either corrugated tin or asbestos. Approx 4 foot high and 40 feet in diameter. Purpose: UNKNOWN

It was getting too dark to see much and we think we covered everything of interest, this was a parting shot
