If you are looking from the beach out to sea, this pillbox is at the back of the beach on your left.

As you walk towards it you'll see it has a metal door in good condition (not the original). I guess it is used as a store room for the people working at the beach.

I was expecting the pillboxes around Aberdeen to have been demolished already, so I was very pleased to get this email from Thomas:

I think I have bumped into one of these in March and didn't realise it.  Here is an old photo of the location.

Now the location is boarded up for slope maintenance.
