Bridge of Dye Pill boxes is a pair of Second World War defensive structures located near Bridge of Dye in Kincardineshire, Scotland. The two concrete pill boxes, situated approximately 60 metres and 35 metres west of the bridge, formed part of the local anti-invasion defences constructed during the critical period of 1940 to 1941 when German invasion of Britain was considered a serious threat. These small fortified posts were designed to provide machine gun cover across approaches to the bridge and surrounding terrain. The structures are representative of the extensive pill box network built throughout eastern Scotland during the early years of the Second World War as part of wider coastal and strategic defence measures.
