 Inchkeith Maritime Command Building.
The building was the command centre for the whole maritime defence system on the Forth, and this is where all the intelligence gathered around the area by guys with binoculars, radar stations, induction loops, and anybody who had any intelligence information, was analysed and actions taken. |
