Tullos Cairn; Aberdeen; ABERDEENSHIRE; SCOTLAND
Frame details
Date: 14 September 1940
Location: Tullos Cairn; Aberdeen; ABERDEENSHIRE; SCOTLAND
Coordinates (lat, lon): 57.141460, -2.081972
Description: During the Second World War, Aberdeen was a vital harbour for warships operating in the North Sea, as well as merchant ships moving around the coastline of the UK. It was also the location for important shipbuilding and repair facilities, which have been identified and annotated on this image from 14 September 1940. German photographic interpreters made one error, however; whilst they identified a gun battery on the coastline to the east, they did not recognize that the adjacent Torry fort housed an additional two guns.
