Secret Scotland - Binn Hill Rifle Range

Has had a bit of an update, and some new pictures added after some World War II items were pictured and the images made available.

I suppose the answer as to what the building relate to is that they belong to the rifle range, but it would be interesting to discover if there was anything more specific as to their individual purposes.]]> Sat, 6 Mar 2010 23:15:03 Apollo AA Battery Drumcross http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/forum/forum/m-1263225787/ http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/forum/forum/m-1263225787/#num1 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 16:03:07 Specopcaptain Coastal Battery South Inch http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/forum/forum/m-1263122367/ http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/forum/forum/m-1263122367/#num1

No link was given, but I've tracked the following down, and the index does include an article on the Spies of Peterhead, so I think it must be the right one:

Secret Scotland - Annanhill Camp

This also includes Annanhill House at the moment, as there is so little information, but at least it is referred to.

The camp doesn't appear to be included in our summary (under this name at least), so I will add it to the supplementary list as well.

I didn't seem to be able to dig up anything else on it, or the house for that matter, in any of the usual archives, or on the web, so if anyone finds anything further on the camp or the house, a note would be appreciated.

Pity, this is another spot where it would have been east get a geograph pic that included the house, yet no-one has done so. (You know, I still think there is an anti-house conspiracy ).]]> Thu, 17 Dec 2009 15:33:38 Apollo Scottish Border http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/forum/forum/m-1260999374/ http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/forum/forum/m-1260999374/#num1 And I'm not talking about Berwick on Tweed or Corby.

SS soldier leaves life savings to British village where he was kept prisoner

He was a soldier in one of the most fanatical divisions in Hitler's war machine.

As a member of the SS, Heinrich Steinmeyer expected little mercy as he surrendered to British troops towards the end of the Second World War.

But instead, he says he was treated with humanity by both the troops who captured him and the guards at the Scottish prison camp where he was kept until the end of the war.

Sixty-five years later, Mr Steinmeyer has pledged to leave his home and life savings of £430,000 to elderly residents in the village of Comrie, Perthshire, as a gesture of gratitude. .....................
