County Banffshire
Date opened June 1960
Date closed September 1991
Location In a square compound on a small hill north of houses near the junction of the B9014 and B9115
Description LOCKED All surface features remain intact with the green/grey paint flaking and one of the ventilation louvers damaged. A metal dome on the ventilation shaft indicates this was a master post. The hatch is locked but can be opened with a Scottish ‘T’ bar key. Internally the post has been almost completely stripped, even the door hinges being taken. All that remains is the counter balance weight in the toilet recess, a tool rack and some wooden brackets. A small table and a large quantity of beer bottles remain on the floor.
