Roseisle Forest and beach Oct 2017 Mavic Pro 4K
Along the Moray coast, in the forest of Roseisle, lie the remains of coastal defences from World War Two.
In the summer of 1940, the threat of German invasion was very real. The British defence plan outlined a need to protect areas of the coast where the enemy could land.
One such area was Moray. This led to the construction of a series of defence structures that ran between Cullen Bay and Burghead Bay, through today's Roseisle and Lossie Forests.
Along the beach at Burghead Bay, where Roseisle Forest now stands, a line of concrete anti-tank blocks and pillboxes were constructed.
Due to coastal erosion and the movement of the sand, some of these defences have been lost or moved, a few pillboxes have tipped over due to the movement of the sand.
Great day out for the Family.

Our Burghead Cottage is a fisherman's cottage built in 1857. Recently refurbished it provides bright and airy accommodation just a stone's throw from the site of the old Pictish Fort, the harbour and the stunning sands of Roseisle Beach. Burghead is ideal, not just for a beach or dolphin spotting holiday, but also for touring the Malt Whisky and Castle trails, as well as longer day trips to places such as the Cairngorms National Park or Inverness.

During World War II, defences were built round the coast of Britain. As part of our Forest Heritage Scotland project, we're finding out more about the built heritage, including defences, hidden within Scotland's national forests. This is a 3D fly-through animation (from a laser scan) of one of the gun emplacements at Lossie Forest, in Moray. Nearby, there are also anti-tank cubes, pillboxes and anti-glider poles (at Culbin). If you have a story about these defences, please let us know on forestheritagescotland.com

WWII Coastal Defences (Part 2)
The sandy beaches of Burghead Bay were used by Allied troops prior to the D-Day Landings as a practice area. Even today there are still remains of various entrenchments, trench systems and fox holes used for these practice landings hidden in the woods behind the beaches. British, Canadian and American troops took part in these military exercises in the months before June 1944.
