Defence Of Scotland - Aberdeenshire and Moray

The Defence of Scotland Project is part of the larger Defence of Britain Project which hopes to record as much of the 20th-century military heritage as possible. A large amount of information has been collected which has been sent to the National War Museum to collate. The following are three sample articles of the type of information gathered so far.

1. The following document is a sample of the types of sites recorded and other information gathered from Aberdeenshire and Moray during the Defence of Scotland Project.

2. The next document is the memories of a local school teacher about a Moray coastal community evacuated prior to the Normandy Invasions.

3. The following document relates the memories of a schoolboy in a small Aberdeenshire country village during the World War 2.
