Innes Links, Part 2 - Emergency Coastal Artillery Battery

In the early days of the Second World War, Great Britain had lost most of its fighting equipment and its personnel were tired and demoralised. With Germany energised having swept across France, the shores of this country were under threat. A huge programme of construction began along the coast to create a concrete coastal crust to deter or at least slow any invasion. On the east coast of northern Scotland outside Lossiemouth is a unique stretch of nearly 10km of continuous anti-invasion defences; 24 pillboxes, thousands of monolithic concrete anti-tank cubes and a twin-gun emergency coastal artillery battery. In this video, we'll explore the coastal artillery battery.
