After discovering that Clan Colville lived in Kinnaird Castle in the 1600s, I couldn’t resist stopping by with the drone. Since it’s now a private residence, I didn’t manage to get many close-up shots.

RAF Douglas Wood
While cycling to Forfar, I spotted what appeared to be an old military installation between Dundee and Forfar. A quick Google search revealed it was the remains of RAF Douglas Wood – a World War II Chain Home radar station established in 1939. These stations provided early warnings of incoming air raids. The site was spread over three main areas: one for the transmitter block and masts, another for the receiver block and masts, and a third for the accommodation camp. At least five anti-aircraft pillboxes surrounded the installation.
