Remnant from WW2
Remnant from WW2
Scapa Flow is surrounded by the remains of old fortifications mostly dating back to WW2. Hoy Sound between Stromness and Graemsay/Hoy was a main route in and out of the Flow so required gun emplacements, anti submarine nets, underwater detection devices etc. This looks as though it may have been a searchlight emplacement.
