Tentsmuir observation hut

This striking little green hut stands on the miles and miles of sand dune in the Tentsmuir nature reserve, between Leuchars and Tayport in north east Fife. It was a second world war observation hut. There are various WW2 relics around here, including an old railway wagon which was actually discovered in the sand in 2010, and which had been used to transport ammunition and to provide a moving target on which aircraft gunners from the base at Leuchars could practise.

As you can see, we had sunshine and blue skies. For three days in a row!

I've gone past that a few times. Always thought it was a bird hide. You live and learn.

I wondered if it doubled up as a bird hide, Jean, but I couldn't see any way of getting up to the door. I thought it was perhaps war-related because of the colour and style, but only found out exactly what it was by googling 'green hut Tentsmuir'!
