I have seen this structure from the road now for many years, and only just got round to visiting on Boxing day. I have no idea what the purpose of this structure was, but it lies about a mile east of former RAF Alness, and about a mile west of HMS Invergordon. Is is also about 350 yards West of Invergordon ROC (also visited the same day) I have a link for an XL Spreadsheet showing the layout here http://rapidshare.com/files/79509379/Unknown_Military_Structure_Invergordon.xls
Here is the flashearth link Zoom Earth | LIVE weather map, storm tracker, rain radar
Now on with the pics. It was blowing a gale force wind, so the longer exposure exterior shots were a bit too blurry to post. It was about 3.30pm by the time I arrived here so the light was not the best.
I would really appreciates any info anyone can share on this, or similar, installations
As seen from Invergordon ROC (About 350yds east)
East side (note vents in top wall, these were all around (except the south facing wall)
One of two large windows (North facing)
West side
Close up of vent showing manufacturers stamp
Front entrance
reverse view of above
Small south facing window, purely for light as outlook is obscured by front wall
From the roof in both directions. Structure measured approx 18 yards long by 6 yards wide
Interior shots: Interior consisted of one large room, with fireplace, in the middle portion, two easterly rooms (one with stairs out) and three westerly rooms(one with stairs)
Remains of wood door frames
Remains of wood vent covers
Ghostly figure
Not quite got the hand of writing my name backward
Door and window in large room
Fireplace
There was evidence that there had once been conduit tubing ergo electricity and lighting (evidence of screw fixings in ceiling for light roses, and round holes in walls at ceiling level, are all that remain)
Backward glance (serious wind, sorry for the poor quality)
If anyone can shed light as to the purpose of this structure, with commanding views of the Cromarty Firth, I would be very grateful
